Pushing up home prices (via comparable valuations) is the issue. Not affordable housing per-se. These second homes cause a hotspot in local prices that then spreads out further over the years as the neighbors sell their homes and demand hig

Getting diagnosed is the first step. It can be a steeper step for some than others. But once you have a medication that works for you (which sometimes takes a few attempts) then you'll find that task avoidance becomes less frequent.

Looks like they will get common shares (not preferred). Could Intel create a new share class for this investment (with different voting rights)? Does 10% give the government a controlling interest?

It's commonly a low volume - high value transaction, so they can charge that much. I have used them to buy houses and change banks. But not to buy a car - because car dealers are evil and there's no way to easily reverse one when

Pluvicto (brand-name in the US) wasn't appropriate for my treatment, but I'm glad you were at least able to get those few months together before he passed.

You're probably right. It was long long ago... I keep meaning to look at ArcaOS but I never seem to have the hardware to dedicate to it at the same time my interest returns.

One of the things I learned going through my own treatment (prostate) was that everyone's cancer is different. Which makes sense if you think about the variability in malignant cell growth. So something that cures half the patients and

The one in Austin (piano themed) met a sad end. Part of their old space is now being redeveloped for a MicroCenter.

Because of that, I got good at creating multi-threaded GUI apps. Stardock were champs at this - they had a newsgroup reader/downloader named PMINews that took full advantage of multithreading. The rule of thumb I had heard and followed

The inflation part is guaranteed. Not sure about the "stag" part, but it could be coming - a friend works at a company whose product is used in many other industries (it's a critical part of their production lines), and their

What I miss about UI development on Windows is the commitment to help me create applications that seamless blend in, and look like something that Microsoft themselves had created. The introduction of web technologies has allowed the visual

Many times these stores have floor cleaning machines - either robotic or driven by a human. An employee could zip-tie their sensor to it, let it do its cleaning trip around the store, and return to collect the data later. This would allow a

It depends on your job in the USAF. I was a security augmentee[0] and we did not chamber a round. But the Airman who died likely protected missile silos, which are "no-lone zones" and they would be carrying with a round in the ch

IBM used to have an outlet store at a mall near the Raleigh Durham airport (prior to the sale of the PC division to Lenovo), and they had some for sale. I was sorely tempted but even at the time it was underpowered. Such a cool design thoug

I think it has become a "term of art" used by agencies like FEMA and insurance companies. And it makes for a good soundbite on the news.

The "Once in a hundred year" saying is misunderstood. It's actually 1% chance each year. So you roll your D100 every spring. Whether that's an acceptable risk is up to you. Having lived in central Texas, it's a reg

I believe that solar panels were an option on the Maybach 62S, and they would run the ventilation fan while you were parked so you wouldn't return to a hot car after going to the store. Like everyone else has said - there just isn&#x27

I doubt that's because of the introduction of robots, but because of the high price of materials and labor limiting who can afford them. "60 Minutes" published a similar story in 2024 and the chunk of Carrara marble needed to

Honestly, even if I had the money, I'd be too afraid to use it. I'd get one of the replica boards. Those electrolytic capacitors will eventually need replacing. At that point you have to ask yourself if the value will be diminishe

I don't recall him mentioning how the viscosity of the fluid changes it's effectiveness, but I imagine it would. For reduced maintenance costs (prevent algae growth) they probably use mineral oil, not blue water.

Late 1970's for me. I set a timer on Sunday nights to record it and would listen to it after school on Mondays. It's where I first heard gems like the Star Trek spoof by Bobby Pickett. "Plot complication showing up on ship&#x

I think it's "generally" true. I saw a mention of some where the transistor had 4 pins: Emitter, collector, base, and ground (can). Presumably for RF shielding and they wanted a higher quality connection to the can without so

The problem I've seen is that you define your corporate entities, but then you have these systems in other divisions which need to extend it. Whether their division's special attributes get promoted to the corporate entity for eve

VSS was picked up via the acquisition of One Tree Software in Raleigh. Their product was SourceSafe, and the "Visual" part was added when it was bundled with their other developer tools (Visual C, Visual Basic, etc). Prior to that

For something like a compiler where the output is mostly deterministic[0] I agree. For an AI that was trained on an unknown corpus, and that corpus changes over time, the output is much less deterministic and I would say you lose the human

I agree with the other posters that 200 km is not very far for Americans (My trips to the dentist are 294 km each way). So far as self-loading - for comparison, I believe the Eurostar loads cars on a single-level. The Auto Train loads cars
