The cost of housing is so high because we prohibit building more of it! I helped a friend run for city council years ago at a time when almost everyone else on the council and the mayor were connected to the property or construction indus

What is value? You can't really use dollar price as a measure of value unless everyone were given equal buying power, every house and apartment was listed on the market at the same time, and every job could be performed from any locat

I and many others would take the house with the land, unless I'm being forced to live in the city for work. When remote work became a necessity, we saw tons of people (and speculative investors) buying up housing in cheaper states.

revealed preference in the market Revealed preference is just a polite way of describing either exploiting vice or taking advantage of someone in a weaker economic position. Works well enough for your average A/B test on a small web

This would definitely be better than the current system of basically forever minus one day, but still leaves the problem that a few giant corporations own giant chunks of our hearts, minds, and childhoods. The zeitgeist of our time should

On the other hand, generational wealth below obscene amounts is a vital stabilizing force in a society. A middle to upper middle class family passing on a boost to each subsequent generation is a good thing. Grandparents help pay for thei

Awair's phone app lists both AQI and PM2.5, and PM2.5 is available on the device itself by pressing buttons to change the display. Somewhat confusingly, the indoor AQI is on the Outdoor tab.

Its mind boggling how mich energy is spent in transporting stuff around the world. What's truly mind boggling is just how little energy is used to ship things around the world. Container ships are crazy efficient.

Outdoor visibility can be solved with a brighter screen. To an extent, but eye strain is reduced quite a bit when surfaces are front-lit by the environment rather than back-lit by a uniform light. No amount of trickery like pointer trail

It's probably note within octave, so 55, 110, 220, 440, 880, etc. would all get colored as "A".

Are the overall amplitudes normalized? Some images appear brighter or darker than others, so I wonder if comparing them would be easier if there was some kind of perceptual brightness normalization step.

What does that mean exactly? It sounds like they're talking about moving climate zone boundaries.

The (reverse, sort of) prisoner's dilemma comes from the perceived risk of being banned by YT for promoting competitors on their site. If a single creator defects (from YouTube) too early, that creator loses, so creators have to coope

Do any of these content creators posting to other non-YT sites mention the availability of these sites in their YT videos? Yes. EEVblog mentions Odysee all the time, and many many channels mention Nebula when shilling Curiosity Stream.

Youtube has an option for channels to hold "potentially offensive" comments for review. If that's what you encountered, the channel can then decide whether to show or delete your comment.

Where are you going to go watch your favorite content creators? A lot of them are cross-posting to Odysee, and some are also on Nebula.

A 4x2 press-fit brick is more like using a rounded rectangle in a phone repair shop logo, not "Apple" itself.

LCDs of the 1990s had ghosting, and this was solved with pointer trails and other accessibility features, like disabling animations. People should be able to make the choice of outdoor visibility versus update smoothness.

How many software developers and authors are there? Time was when 100,000 units a year was enough to make a highly successful company. When did we decide that only trillion dollar companies were worth considering? At that point we lose ec

We saw the same trajectory with high refresh rate displays. Back in the CRT days, you could set your display to 200+Hz on some monitors, 85Hz was common, and 72Hz was the minimum. At the same time, you had devices with reflective LCDs tha

Somehow I get junk mail delivered reliably every week. Maybe put the tests and masks in with that, rather than individually addressing and labeling every shipment.

I don't understand how this merger substantially lessens competition. Step 1: acquire ARM Step 2: make life more difficult for other ARM license holders and/or easier for NVidia Step 3: be the only viable supplier of ARM chips
