<p>> California cities could trivially fix their budget problems by satisfying the demand for housing by adding density, but it seems they are determined to do nothing until the wheels finally fall off, and the city's budget crisis spirals out of control.<p>The state of California already mandated certain density improvements:<p><a href="https://calmatters.org/housing/2025/10/newsom-signs-massive-california-housing-overhaul/" rel="nofollow">https://calmatters.org/housing/2025/10/newsom-signs-massive-...</a><p>There is another law that mandated local communities plan to manage housing to accommodate population growth or the local community loses it's ability to deny permits.

<p>> The difficulty is if you demand that once given a benefit, that benefit must be given for life, then nobody will provide those benefits. The more costs are imposed on an employer for hiring people, the fewer they will hire.<p>I never demanded anything. You have an issue with reading comprehension. I took issue with your offtrack comment.<p>> As for sensitivity, it is neither sensitive nor virtuous to demand that other people fund one's sensitivities. It is sensitive and virtuous to freely donate one's own funds.<p>Your opinion-that is not mine. My other opinion is you need to up those reading skills.<p>> Microsoft has, for decades, been known to provide generous funding for autistic family members of their employees. It's sensitive and virtuous. Criticizing them for not giving more is a bit unfair.<p>Once again, improve your reading skills. I criticized them for firing people that they clearly needed to maintain a good product; one of them happened to have a kid with severe Autism. If they were not a monopoly; people would stop buying their product.</p>

<p>> I find it notable that the administration has dismissed the idea of supporting Maria Machado on hte grounds taht she 'has no support' when the extent of her support is why led the Maduro government to ban her from running for election in 2024.<p>Article is paywalled so couldn't read it.<p>The Trump admin likely wants someone more loyal and willing to cooperate with what the oil companies want to do to develop the oil reserves including ignoring environmental issues (rubber stamp).<p>Maria may have her own ties to China/Russia and half of the justification for this action was to push them out of the country.</p>

<p>> The point was when you get a high paying job, the first order of business is to build up savings because jobs are not guaranteed for life. 6 months of runway gives one time to find another position.<p>That applies to 'any' job and is besides the point since I mentioned above he did keep savings. Your comments comes off as insensitive since few jobs will make up for the generous Autism therapy benefit.</p>

<p>> Microsoft pays well. The prudent move is to not increase spending until saving up at a bare minimum 6 months of "runway".<p>> I live in Washington. My accountant told me stories, one of which was a Microsoftian who got the big job, and promptly bought the most expensive house he could swing. He soon ran into trouble because he didn't have enough left to pay the property tax, and was forced to sell it.<p>> Never, ever, EVER assume that a high paying job is a guarantee for life.<p>I do not know why you wrote this. This wasn't a guy who blew all his money on a big house and was forced to sell it when he lost his job.<p>The guy's kid was born with a low functioning level of Autism that required expensive therapy to treat. You do not choose that. He had savings, but he may be taking care of the kid for the rest of his life. What is he suppose to do? Eat ramen to save up 40 years of out of pocket therapy treatment when he was fired from a position that Microsoft should have kept? No, that is ridiculous.</p>

<p>Are you sure it is not malware? When was the last time you changed the profile?<p>Also, I have a ton of bookmarks and as I been slowly deleting them Firefox's performance has improved. This same giant size of bookmarks Chrome seems to sync out of order causing their placement to change.<p>Ublock origin also does slow down the browser a bit on websites that.. don't.. have ads.</p>

<p>There are a few reasons:<p>I haven't compared it in years, but Firefox's bookmark sync is better than Google's, it is a reason why I have stuck with it.<p>I think Firefox manages hundreds of tabs better than Chrome does as far as memory usage goes. I haven't used Chrome seriously in years, but people continue to complain about how RAM hungry Chrome is so I assume it is still an issue.<p>But Mozilla has been doing odd things that makes me question them. I would move to some Chromium based browser if ublock origin was... blocked... pun intended... because the web does prefer Chrome over Firefox. If this 3rd party browser is able to integrate some of the functionality of ublock origin that Firefox chose to remove; I would use it over the reasons I listed above in a heartbeat.</p>

<p><a href="https://metacomputing.io/products/metacomputing-arm-aipc" rel="nofollow">https://metacomputing.io/products/metacomputing-arm-aipc</a><p>Save you a click or two. Looking at this I have so many questions. Am I buying a mainboard? It is not clear. It lists ports: it only supports 2 ports? You have four options with 16/32gigs and 1tb of storage? Is the storage soldiered? If so, what is the storage? emmc? Soldiered memory seems to be a given in the ARM ecosystem, but the storage is completely unacceptable on a framework mainboard.<p>The only difference between the pro and the regular is that the second port is a usb-c over an hdmi? I am assuming this is the mainboard even supporting framework extension cards.<p>No listed Linux compatibility support. Forget if the NPU even works in Linux; I do not even know if this will boot Linux because the company did not bother to submit devicetree patches to the kernel for their SOC. No listed Windows support even.<p>This company's copy is absolutely terrible.</p>

<p>> Actually, this seems to be mostly a spike in retail prices, not wholesale DRAM contracts that are only up 60% or so in the past few months according to Samsung. So we should most likely place at least some fraction of the blame on our fellow consumers for overreacting to the news and hoarding RAM at overinflated prices. DRAM sticks are the new toilet paper.<p>What is your source on that? Moore's Law is Dead directly contradicts your claims by saying that OpenAI has purchased unfinished wafers to squeeze the market.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BORRBce5TGw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BORRBce5TGw</a></p>
