LOL, animals have no rights. OK, maybe the right to be tasty.

deegeese,

It’s more enshittification. Making it cheaper and worse and telling everyone it’s an upgrade.

OP is editorializing that it’s for vegan ethics.

deegeese,

It makes perfect sense as a PR or cost-cutting move.

deegeese,

Are you?

Residents asked to stay indoors after escaped Pennsylvania killer is spotted again, and police say he is armed (www.cnn.com)

A Monday night sighting of the convicted killer who escaped from an eastern Pennsylvania prison nearly two weeks ago jolted the surrounding community into high alert and prompted school closures Tuesday, after police warned the inmate now has a weapon.

deegeese,

I’m sure he called himself a responsible gun owner. They all do.

deegeese,

If it was historical, someone could have landmarked it in the last 70 years.

It’s probably not historical in any way except for the owner.

deegeese,

There was not a single thing in that article which makes that house special. The only claim to fame seems to be “long dead actress owned it for a couple years”.

It’s all talking about how she was a famous icon. This is gross celebrity worship/fetishism.

deegeese,

Bad faith NIMBY action to try and landmark a mediocre house at the last minute.

If it has architectural merit, why did it take 60 years for anyone to notice?

deegeese,

Authentic? A kid died! I dare you to say that in front of a jury.

deegeese,

Defending the dangerous thing while blaming the owner is a favorite argument against gun control.

deegeese,

How can it be the “International” code if it’s using inches?

When the issue is only seen after hours of runtime, logging is more practical.

Tuna shaming is bullying people with those tuna fish stickers on their car.

Baby boomers may be to blame for today’s housing imbalance, Barclays says

Dani RomeroSeptember 9, 2023 at 4:46 a.m. Millennials may have another beef with boomers: the shortage in housing.

In a note from Barclays housing research team, economists are pointing the finger at the aging Americans who are fueling the demand for homes as the market remains surprisingly resilient.

“The US housing sector is on the upswing again, even with mortgage rates at multi-decade highs. Although much has been attributed to shortages of existing properties and mortgage lock-in effects, we think strong demand is a symptom of the aging population,” Jonathan Millar, Director, Senior US economist at Barclays Investment Bank, wrote in a note to clients.

The theory that the aging population would require fewer homes isn’t quite accurate. It turns out older consumers tend to prefer smaller dwellings but not fewer homes. Barclays housing team makes the argument that currently more boomers are partly responsible for creating more households, putting pressure on housing demand.

“This is because the composition of the population has important effects on demand: a given person is generally more likely to become the head of a household as he or she ages, with the highest likelihood occurring beyond retirement age,” Millar wrote.

“Hence, as an increasing share of the population shifts into older age groups, more and more households tend to be formed. That is, as a given household head ages, the size of the household (in terms of people) tends to become smaller and smaller, with children moving out and couples separating because of divorce or death,” the economist added.

However, there’s a difference now from the previous aging generation. The boomer generation is a much larger one, so they are using up more houses than prior generations as they age.

“Retired people always are much more likely to be the head of a household than those in pre-retirement age. This is because a given person in this age group is much more likely to be a single head of a household, especially as they, inevitably, lose a life partner,” Millar told Yahoo Finance in an email. “The difference now is that this generation is a much larger group than the one that preceded it, which means that they demand much more housing.”

That leaves less existing inventory for the younger ones, especially millennials as they reach an age where they would form a new household and buy a house.

“Despite notable increases in demand from the 35-44 cohort, almost all of [the] additional demand is explained by the aging population, with significant increases in households in the 65-74 and 75+ groups,” Millar wrote.

The youngest boomers are 59 years old, and not yet retired while the oldest are 77 years old. Boomers will eventually require “less housing” as this group ages, but that will take time for that to happen.

Census Bureau estimates through June 2022 are extrapolated using UN projections. “Along the way, the retirement age (65+) cohort grew from about 13% of the civilian population in 2010 to 16.5% in 2020, and it is expected to increase to 20.5% by the end of this decade,” Millar wrote.

“Trends for the 75+ group are even starker, with the share expected to expand from 6% in 2010 to 9.5% by the end of this decade, then well above 10% in the decades that follow,” he added.

But there’s still an upside for the younger generation.

“Unlike the boomer generation, the population in these younger age groups is not especially large in comparison to what it has been over the past few decades,” Millar told Yahoo Finance, signaling the current demand dynamics for housing may not persist in the future.

Meanwhile, the housing shortage has remained a major headwind for homebuyers. Rising mortgage rates have stalled out the market’s inventory. Existing homeowners are reluctant to sell and risk giving up a lower rate they secured before the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes that have pushed mortgage rates to a two-decade high.

The share of homes listed for sale dropped 18% over the same period last year, marking the biggest fall since the start of 2022, according to

The limited inventory also means buyers must compete for a limited pool of housing, pushing home prices higher.

The formation of households is one of the factors that fuels the housing market. It happens when consumers move out on their own, creating a head a new household.

The move happens as younger adults venture away from college and their parents. Per Barclays available data through 2022 shows that there’s a rise in household formation at the age of 25, which increases steadily and peaks around retirement age and older.

“Among other things, this reflects the parenthood phase during prime age (25-54), the separation of adult children from the household, divorce, and the heightened possibility of eventually losing a life partner to death,” Millar noted.

That got reverted in 9 minutes. OP is trolling to get more eyeballs on their own vandalism. https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/62ddcb9a-1ed0-483a-9c2a-86aeee7eebdb.png

This Christmas I’m giving OP’s mom a waffle iron.

deegeese,

Is a policy designed to disenfranchise minorities really a bad thing ?

That’s what you’re arguing, right?

deegeese,

If it’s not RT OS, you have no guarantees. The OS may preempt your function at any time to run a different thread.

Real-time processes on commodity OSs use buffers. When the buffer runs out you get dropped frames or whatever.

deegeese,

Writing your own FFT or something?

If your function gets called every 40ms, design it so that it normally completes in 20ms and use a buffer of a couple batches. Should work fine unless some other process monopolizes all the cores.

edit: I noticed you need data from external sources with high latency. You need to put the data read in it’s own thread so that processing current data doesn’t get held up by latency reading new data.

Not many direct flights from St. Lucia to Lyon. Hub-and-spoke route planning.

It was built with taxpayer money and is critical to US national security. Now it’s being used to help the enemy in war. We absolutely should nationalize it.

US liberals should not be in charge of Ukraine’s defense policy.

It’s been downhill since Windows 7. I think this will be my last Windows PC.

I just don’t feel safe with Windows that next time I boot up there won’t be some fresh horror I didn’t ask for and have to go research how to put back in the bottle.

It’s like having your computer pre-rooted with malware.

Don’t the bereaved thank them for making the deceased look good?

They don’t get thanked, they get PTSD.

Maybe not by the defendant, but you don’t thank your process server afterwards?

The strength of consoles as a development target is that there is only a single hardware configuration you need to support.

Microsoft squandering that advantage in order to hit a lower price point was a gift to Sony that will keep on giving.

deegeese,

Cyberpunk 2077 was a far bigger mess on Xbox-S.

Not the first time a game fell flat on an underpowered console.

deegeese,

IDK man, I’m a liberal in an ultra liberal bubble and have heard locals sincerely espouse all those views at various times.

The extremists of any movement tend to be cringy kooks.

Come on, it was just a kiss. It’s not like he was raping his adopted daughter or something. /s

Are the results available in a table somewhere so I don’t need to watch a damn video?

Putting money into something you don’t own is stupid. Full stop.

Never put money into a rental.

You forgot ‘pedophilic’.

Gosh, how would someone ever figure out child abuse is a bad thing?

No, because that would be letting the commies win. /s

Call me crazy, but I don’t think corporations should be in the business of scanning everyone’s private data on behalf of “the authorities”.

Too many ways it can go very wrong.

deegeese,

You keep repeating the lie that these places help women when they’re designed to push women away from medical care.

Taxpayer money shouldn’t be spent on religious counseling.

deegeese,

Conservatives are allergic to police oversight because it conflicts with the core principle of conservatism:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

The police must be free from laws so they can more easily apply them to liberals/women/minorities/LGBT

deegeese,

To shreds, you say?

deegeese,

The irony of the straw poll site throwing up an anti-adblock banner 🤣

deegeese,

Probably a personal dispute, and the suspect is well known to the victim.

deegeese,

You can use an O(n) radix sort on the Z-values because IEEE-754 floats share the integer property that leftmost bits always have higher values than rightward ones.
