Funny I thought these people had an issue with tax dollars being used to pay for certain services they don’t agree with.

Indeed. Nothing about this addresses rental markets and general extreme cost of living. Rather, it finds new ways to prop up severely overvalued housing markets.

Housing costs are so high because it’s become an investment over a necessary place for a human to live. A correction is severely needed and long overdue, but the government works hard to keep values artificially high from zoning laws at the bottom to preventing corrections at the top.

It’s way of dressing up expenses to fit our criminally low corporate tax structure.

It’s a special kind of fucked up that the government is paid for by the poor to serve the interests of the wealthy.

Not really, because the rental market does not behave like commodities do. Generally, you have to live within a reasonable distance of employment. For this and other reasons, renters are much more vulnerable and tend to get exploited far beyond the cost of the service.

Basically, if tenants had any more money to exploit, they would already take it. Rents are maximally high wherever possible to extract maximum money from people who need a place to live.

Consider the common joke that I pay this much in rent every month but the bank says I can’t afford a house where the mortgage would be substantially less.

Just be careful you don’t store the cup on earth, else it would have to contain itself.

Technically speaking, can’t any impact with the ground be considered an earthquake?

henfredemars ,

You make me paranoid.

henfredemars ,

Do you think someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?

And we have wide instructions that can process this data, such as for multimedia applications.

Addressing and memory size has been the historic motivator for wider registers, but it’s probably not going to be in my lifetime that I see the need for 128.

How can I avoid these chemicals when I buy my dental floss? It seems really not obvious to me how to be a better consumer.

Didn’t they just come out with that recently?

Right. It’s a nice way of saying that the problem cannot be solved.

I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. (www.adobe.com)

I expected ridiculous propaganda from Adobe, but they give absolutely no reasons why Photoshop is better than Gimp and list a bunch of things that Gimp can do too....

It’s also how the system selects for unethical employees.

How do I cope with the Steam Community?

I go to Steam regularly to play my games, usually posting simple screenshots of my game sessions. But when I go to the communities I see Internet videos, GIFs, memes, and memetic everything and it’s not really my thing. I even posted on Lemmy that I didn’t like memes in general and what do they post on here? It feels like...

henfredemars ,

Maybe there is no need to cope in the sense that it’s just not a good fit for you. I use Steam to play my games, but I have no interest in the community features.

Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” - Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted. (arstechnica.com)

Big tech companies are still trying to rally workers back into physical offices, and many workers are still not having it. Based on a recent report, computer-maker Dell has stumbled even more than most....

Like they were going to get promoted anyway. That’s not todays job market.

I could see this as a generic summer theme, but I mean come on.

I object because my public funds were used to pay for most of these papers. Publishers shouldn’t behave as if they own it.

I once lived in an apartment with no windows that could open. They were all sealed.

‘Will I ever retire?’: millennials wonder what’s on the other side of middle age (www.theguardian.com)

Claire*, 42, was always told: “Follow your dreams and the money will follow.” So that’s what she did. At 24, she opened a retail store with a friend in downtown Ottawa, Canada. She’d managed to save enough from a part-time government job during university to start the business without taking out a loan....

Wasn’t there a study that said MBAs don’t have object permanence nor a real conscious understanding of the passage of time?

Money today. That’s all these businesses understand.

My dad be like the job creators need that money so it can trickle!

Sounds like we need a bot for that.

Sometimes, easy accessibility is a bad thing. Nobody profits off a large user base here. We should instead focus on having good users and a platform that serves those users.

That only works if you have competition. We don’t really have free markets. The consolidation is so extreme that auto makers for example really don’t care if consumers want a high value budget EV. Why should they? They can make you collectively buy something else when you need a car to get to work.

henfredemars ,

Competition doesn’t really exist anymore. Instead, via regulatory capture, the big players simply change the rules to exclude competition.

Automation-prone fields like writing, software, and app development saw a 21% decrease in job listings

Maybe, but hard disagree that software is being automated away.

It’s the concentration of money and its interests. It corrupts purpose.

You are kind. You did good.

I spent months with the series about a decade ago. Lived and breathed it, read every book I could find on the subject. I derived expressions for it in a few high dimensional applications and efficient solutions for its calculation. To this day, it’s really really cool seeing some of those algorithms get incorporated into libraries.

Part of me thinks they should’ve done it in the knight outfit, but he might be harder to recognize.

Missing type or identifier.

A const what?

Also, I read that you have to assign a const when it is declared. Something doesn’t feel right about this statement.

henfredemars ,

Really? TIL.

Thank you for this work! I’ve been very interested in the topic but haven’t been bothered to actually test.
