Given current models can accomplish this task quite successfully and cheaply, I'd say that if/when that happens it would be a failure of the user (or the provider) for not routing the request to the smaller, cheaper model.
Similar to how it would be the failure of the user/provider if someone thought it was too expensive to order food in, but the reason they thought that was they were looking at the cost of chartering a helicopter form the restaurant to their house.
The secret is: there is a lot of subsidized housing, and the article primarily talks about said subsidized housing. The cost of non subsidized housing is in line with Hamburg.
>The secret is: there is a lot of subsidized housing
Becasue that's what the Vienese people voted for and keep voting for since 1945. So even if you also want to vote yourselves subsidized housing in your city right now, unless you can turn back time to change your city's policies, it's unlikely your own city will be able to buy up over half the private properties in town now, turn them into social housing and then rent them out to you at discount prices today. It will be financial and politicla suicide to do that in today's market anywhere on the planet.
It's also how Vienna is the only city in Austria with so much subsidized housing, with the rest of the country relying on private ownership and private rent, nor can the rest be like Vienna today even if they wished due to the issue mentioned above.

With lower wages than Hamburg and higher consumer prices.
And Hamburg has terrible salaries, too, if the €2500/month take home I was offered for a senior engineer role by one of Germany’s biggest companies is anything to go by.
That's a European wide problem. Most great software opportunities are still clustered around the handfull of tehc hubs where big-tech, FANGS and VC funded companies have their offices: London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin, Stockholm. Anmywhere outside of that and opportunities take a nose dive.
Hmm, maybe - did you see the PDF reports from swissdevjobs/germantechjobs a few weeks ago?
Zurich, Zug, Bern and Geneva were out there as around double the numbers of anywhere in Germany. I know Switz isn't cheap to live in, but still. Honestly I wish I was still back in London.
The lack of an easily accessible search function/option to select a city (Seattle) other than SF/NYC/London/Paris/Dubai was a little annoying to me, and then the login gate when I try to click explore again was a little frustrating.
I've found it mildly useful for when I say I'll meet up with a friend but I've forgotten their address, so then look at my timeline to see where it is (since I generally remember the last time I saw a friend, if not exactly where their house was).
His whole thing for a while was how it was going to be cheaper to dig tunnels by using new techniques etc, that would equally apply to subways - but a feel like it was probably bullshit.
This is ridiculous misinformation. "Drills" come in every size already, from the 12-inch range all the way up to 60 feet in diameter. All modern "drills" that erect a liner behind them are electric - air quality and safety issues (along with the massive energy requirements) mandate the use of an umbilical from the surface and prevent the use of diesel or gas in the tunnel for these machines. None of Boring Company's "drills" are able to start at street level and dig themselves down, they require a ramp or shaft just like every other TBM. This is physics, the Boring Company has made no technological advances. They literally bought their TBM from someone else and put it in the ground with a new paint job.
Here are pictures of the drills launching at ground level and digging themselves down [1], and a third party source discussing it as an innovation in boring [2]
This would be called a launch ramp in the industry. It is an adaptation of HDD approaches to larger diameter machines. It has been going on for decades. It is only viable where space and the final geometric constraints of the project permit. Additionally, it requires very specific geologic conditions or the construction of a structural headwall in order to avoid a sinkhole.
There are cureently bacteria that eat diesel/gasoline, which is why if you leave either in your vehicle tank for a long period (1-6 months) , you shoud to siphon it out and replace it.
Gasoline and diesel go bad because they are solutions of many hydrocarbons, and the lighter hydrocarbons are the first to evaporate, leaving a heavier-than-intended slurry of what's left plus accrued moisture from atmosphere.
It has little to nothing to do with bacterial growth.
'Fuel Stabilizer', additives that are intended to be added to tanks of vehicles which must have fuel sitting in them for prolonged periods, are oils which are designed to prevent the evaporation of the lighter hydrocarbons and prevent water infiltration; usually through the use of molecules that either bond with water readily, or by layering oil atop the fuel mass to encapsulate it from evaporation to atmosphere.

You didn't mention ethanol but that's what you mean. Normal gasoline is very stable, it's just the federally-mandated corn ethanol added to it that turns into sludge after a few months. Fuel stabilizer keeps that ethanol from degrading.
I would advise anyone with small engines, like lawnmowers or snowblowers, to seek out ethanol-free gasoline and use that exclusively in those engines.
My experience is mostly with epilepsy, but CBD at dosages of 25-100mg (varying on the intensity of the siezure) really does help better then any prescribed medication my partner has tried. It's not ridiculous to me that it's effect on other systems in your body we don't know much about could be significant.
I do agree though, regularily using 500-1000mg's a week gets expensive.
Good point, you're totally right! I don't think they covered that in the book. Here's the relevant chapter if calculations on flight: http://withouthotair.com/c5/page_35.shtml
