Highlights
•
The size of very large houses dramatically increased since 1980, leading to a “McMansion effect.”
•
Homeowners’ satisfaction drops with nearby McMansions, but not neighborhood satisfaction.
•
In response to the “McMansion effect”, homeowners enlarge homes and incur more debt.
•
Isolated McMansions or those built before move-in don’t affect satisfaction or behavior.
•
Zoning laws limiting maximum house sizes could enhance welfare by reducing pressure to upscale homes.
Especially when you take into consideration the fact that the booster landed (and subsequently fell over) on a floating platform out at sea.
“I’ll be great with X” definitively strikes me as a well thought out policy plan …
I’m not sure “lash out” is the right choice of words here. If someone publicly called for your death while accusing you of a crime you didn’t commit, and never even apologized when you’re proven innocent, I’d say you can be rightfully extremely angry at them.
Housing is too cheap? Now that’s a problem I’d like to have
This paper says nothing about the “brain’s navigation system”. It is focused on the distribution of cone photoreceptors in the retina, and more precisely in the fovea.
They are indeed organized in a hexagonal mosaic as you can see in the picture, and the authors present a new method to estimate spatial distribution of said cones, showing that there are anisotropies, with the cones having a larger local spacing along the horizontal axis.
The fovea (A) is the central-ish region of the retina, and it is packed with cones, which are specialized in color recognition. As you move to the periphery of the retina (B), another type of receptor becomes dominant : the rods. They are a lot better at sensing light but can’t tell which color it is. That’s why our peripheral vision is mostly shades of gray, even if your brain tries to convince you otherwise by adding the colors from context.
Anyway, not saying this isn’t an interesting topic, but it’s not the best source to illustrate it.
Plein d’excellentes suggestions ! Merci :)
You can usually tell it’s AI by looking at the hands. Trump’s are obviously way too large for this to be a real picture.
Finally a dark mode !
Honestly it’s not the worst idea in a country surrounded by the sea, baked by the sun, and where most of the population is concentrated on the coasts. Just build shitloads of solar farms and power it that way. Probably better than sucking some deep aquifers dry.
Desalination plants.
Try to find the NPK ratio of your fertilizer somewhere on the packaging . N is nitrogen, P is phosphor and K is potassium, so these numbers give you the respective contents of your fertilizer for the 3 most important nutrients for plants.
Then try to google the optimal NPK ratios for other plants you might have. If it’s close enough to your fertilizer’s ratio, it should work fine for those plants too.
The rover only has environmental testing to go through and is otherwise ready. So since they are launching the rocket anyway, why not just use the rover without testing instead of a mass simulator. What’s the worst that could happen?

The DoD recommended apps are Signal and Wickr .
Here’s a higher def version of that same picture.
