You mean I am supposed to fit all this information in my head, practice it, and eventually understand it? Sounds really hard

Those of us in the corporate world that have decades of experience in doing useless busywork are somewhat partial to adding a useless link to the patch submission. Even though anyone could look it up from the title in the Git commit. Also, nobody cares to see the LKML thread. But dammit doesn't feel nice to do additional paperwork?

Yeah those views that were literally the driving force for many of this nations early settlers in the first place and so critical to our nations founders they cited them specifically in the Declaration of independence and created constitutional protections for them.

Yet somehow Frankfort school neomarxist asshats like you have convinced half the population that your fully imaginary implicit 'substantive due process rights to marry your dog' TRUMP our explicitly written 1A rights.

It is extremely telling that about the only German law that has survived from the Adolf Hitler regime is about compulsory state education, and how angry the left gets when there is any push-back or scaling back of Federalized education programs here.

You know the best way to identify an actual Nazi in the US, hint they call themselves Democrats and scream Nazi at everyone else.

I don't give two shits about your thoughts on the minority of the population.

Such a thing has never happened before. So why would you keep expecting it to work that way?

It should be obvious that building luxury housing during an affordability crisis does not directly address the immediate problem. Regardless of your position on this issue. Even if you believe in trickle-down you'd have to admit there is a time lag between moving out of the modest home and into the luxury home.

And there is a side-effect of an affordability crisis to consider; That the middle and working-class are getting slammed by higher rents and that makes it difficult for them to save for housing. And we've been locked into a viscous cycle for a few decades.

Solutions such as deregulating land-use zoning invites developers into middle and working-class neighborhoods where the land is cheaper. These developments tend to remove old businesses or lower value housing to make way for the development. Then to maximize their profit, a developer will try to bring in as many luxury units as possible. This tends to squeeze the rental markets in those neighborhoods with fewer affordable options and fewer local businesses. Pushing people out of the community, and moving somewhere else is typically a huge financial hit (reset your tax base on your house, higher commute costs, etc).

There isn't, that's a myth. There is demand for housing and there is demand for real estate investment. The demand for real estate investment pushes the market upward. People who actually live in a house or apartment buy what they can afford. The market economics for both types of buyers are incompatible.

Most of the homeless in California are in that position for economic reasons. The loss of a job is number one. That can be from a sudden illness or accident, a layoff or an unexpected car problem. Without being able to quickly replace the income with a new job, people get evicted and start living in their car or on the street.

Mixed in with people who could sort themselves out if they only had a place to live; are people who are a hot mess. Due to addiction or mental illness they aren't going to seek out help or sort out their own life. They will a danger to themselves and perhaps a nuisance to the community.

That's the tricky thing about the homeless problem. It's a bunch of different people with different root causes. And they need different solutions. But the public tends to focus on the loud, obnoxious, disruptive, and dangerous people.

Increasing housing supply won't "trickle down" into lower housing costs. That's not how it works, but it's the myth that armchair economists, real estate investors, and politicians love to tell us.

The only way to have affordable rent and affordable houses is to regulate them. Allowing the free market continue to decide the price on a necessary resource is not likely to automatically push prices down. Because the people who own a home, be it a single home or an investor that owns an entire development, they are going to avoid taking a loss on their investment but they'll happily agree to profit. This tends to ratchet prices in one direction: up.

It's important to have a test that is sensitive enough to detect vibe coders.

Black text on a slightly different black background is the theme that metalhead demand.

I'm of the older generation that uses "drop" mainly for toilet humor.

For the last several years, tens of thousands of people have made it their full time job to game YT's recommendation system. In the old days people had to hire freelancers to churn out meaningless, fake content in order to flood multiple channels to see what sticks. And the brainless YT would cut many of them checks for it, despite them making the entire site worse for everyone.

Content mills are going to end YouTube's business. And nobody here is forced to go to that site or watch their content anymore. It's a shame that Google isn't interested in running a long-term business, and when advertising revenue starts drying up it's going to hit that company like a ton of bricks.

We'll have to explain to our grandchildren what a YouTube and a Google were. Because those things probably won't exist in 20 years.

I think it would be prudent and potentially cheaper to have multiple backup vendors competing for your business. Instead of having a single vendor that you have to fight a legal battle with, and win, in order to continue your business.

Having 10 times the address space of a PDP-11 user program is an awfully generous amount of space.

Very little lithium leaves as a gas in a battery fire. The main components of the off-gas are CO2, CO, H2. Plus microparticles of hydrocarbons, which is mainly why you see black smoke. Then there is the real nasty stuff that appears in very small quantities, such as: CO, HF, HCl, HCN, NOx, and SO2. A grid storage site near me caught fight and we were put on alert because the county did not have any HF air sensors and couldn't offer an estimate on the danger. You do not want HF in your eyes or lungs or really anywhere near you.

Please, stack those 400 kg lithium packs all in once place. I'd potentially like to invest in any company that gets to mine such "waste" materials for free.
To avoid groundwater contamination ... we need a closed loop system for handling such hazardous material. We already do this for lead acid batteries in the car industry, because of the very well known risk of lead to environmental harm from the landfill run off and ground water.

I'm not sure that there is some inherent deficiency of governments organizations, or if we just haven't really applied our selves to the problem. I mean if a government can run a military, with very complex logistics and constantly shifting goals, then surely running a nationalized production is a skill that can be learned rather than an implicit trait.

The problem with out sourcing is end up having to regulate how much profit can be made or things go off the rails. Like if I want to farm cotton, tobacco, or sugarcane, obviously enslaving people is the shorted path to higher profit. But apparently I'm not allowed to do that anymore thanks to government regulation.

Luckily, other forms of control of labor are still quite legal. They just require a more subtle touch and aren't quite as immediately profitable as slavery. But are perhaps more stable and better for long term profits. And as we all know, profit is the only metric of success in this country.
