The lowest state median income in the US is Mississippi at $45,000. I can't possibly imagine how someone mismanages their finances so much that $450,000 is not enough to raise a family on.

I understand where you're coming from but if you're going to make people choose between their pets and climate change, you may not like the answer. My initial reaction was a snarky "why stop there, let's get rid of zoos and maybe even wild animals too"

I am sympathetic to your viewpoint, but personally I find "exploring weird internet subcultures" within the spirit of hacking, if not the letter of the law. I'd much rather see this than a lot of the start-up related stuff posted here.

Similarly, my uncle has rapidly progressing Parkinson's caused by exposure to Agent Orange as a Seabee in Vietnam, his VA doctors have confirmed this as the cause.

This may be true in the future but seems unlikely today, Parkinson's rarely occurs before 60 and the rise in ADHD diagnoses started in the 90s.

I tend to have junior devs prototype in Python and we rewrite in C# when necessary.

St. Louis would have likely been in the same general area too because of the Missouri river.

You don't die from obesity either, you die from the effects it has on the body.

In fairness I believe Shakespeare also wrote his works in idiosyncratic English.

There is almost definitely more poetry and literature in general being written today than in the past, you just have to search for it.

This isn't about next year though, this is about planning capacity for the next decade at least.

Why isn't it in Yucca mountain?

Interesting, I'd never heard of this before. If we didn't use carbon-neutral CO2 sources would it still be an improvement over status quo?

Did you miss this on the main page?

This is probably also true of less noble causes such as hate movements, money laundering, hitmen, human trafficking, drug trade, etc.

After a certain level of fame, the artists are CEOs of their own brand.

Isn't this essentially the origin story of the park service? Probably apocryphal but I remember something along the line of Teddy Roosevelt loving hunting so much he wanted to protect the wild areas of the US.

It's my understanding that they're being charged with laws that are same as hacking a company server. I'm sure Chinese law works different than Westerners are used to.

I would bet on a large scale it's not people who are being abused, just people who are miserable and unhappy with their lives for whatever reason.

>Annual median rents were on average $324 higher for every $1,000 increase in household median incomes

This is in line with the general rule of 30% of income should go to housing, and this is after they limited the selection to just the top 50 cities.

Land is a finite resource but we still have plenty of that, location of the land is a very finite resource. Housing is very affordable in much of the country, just not in the most desirable cities.

I've tested plenty at work and don't really have any complaints with any of them, worst case they will perform as well as an equivalent laptop and usually better due to more thermal headroom.

If you're optimizing for price and power consumption get an older SKU with an Atom, if you want more horsepower anything 10th gen with 4 cores will handle just about anything you can throw at it, and the idle power consumption is quite good too.

Depends, most I've seen are low power Intel but the power consumption should be roughly the same.

Dogfighting itself is obselete, and has been for decades. Modern missiles are simply too good.

That's not a function of Chrome, that's a function of Gmail.

If you want something like a Mac there are plenty of options. Off the top of my head there's Lenovo Yoga, Dell XPS, and Microsoft Surface.

This made me curious about GPU performance as well:

GeForce 210 (2009): 39.36 GFLOPS

GeForce GTX 980 Ti (2015): 6.060 TFLOPS

GeForce RTX 3090 (2020): 35.58 TFLOPS

And the patents would have expired after 20 years anyways.

I don't mind this as 7% per year seems like a reasonable safety measure to me. The issue is they need to make it much easier, cheaper, and faster to build more housing along with it. Portland is probably particularly bad about this, as I see plenty of new apartments and rowhouses going up in Hillsboro and Beaverton. Still, these units aren't what I'd consider affordable.

I think we need to seriously reconsider the effect some building requirements and property taxes have on housing prices. It may not be ideal but very small apartments with shared commons and no parking for a few hundred dollars a month would be better than living in an RV or on the streets. This is a pretty common setup in Japan, not to mention college and military dorms. This isn't even that different from having roommates.

I assume that's because the majority of them are elderly, and have no desire to learn it.
