The housing policies are the only things that matter from an economic perspective and money is the only thing that matters. Just look at any BC economic statistics - I'm guessing ~80% of the economy at this point is tied directly or indirectly to real estate.

This situation mirrors the global warming debate: we are in a sitch such that if we fix things now it will be very painful and if not it will an an existential issue down the road. If human nature has taught me anything it's going to be the latter.

In regards to your hyphenated points:

- Haven't been following that. For public property it seems like the money always ends up going to some big donor's pocket. Have a look at the 403 or many of the other public-private partnership projects. It's almost always a terrible deal for taxpayers. It's funny - many complain about government being ineffective but not when those signing monopoly-supporting contracts.

- Have a look at some analysis online of the actual wages ride-sharing drivers make after they pay for capital costs associated with the cars, etc. I believe one generous article calculated about 2$/h for uber.

- Unless your day job is to analyze the effects of such changes you're not qualified to make that claim. Maybe the number is 16 maybe it's 2.05. Even with the most sophisticated models this would be very hard to estimate. I think we should tie MP salaries to mean wages. You'd see a nice bump to min wage every year!

You're getting too caught up in what they say. These are politicians... look at what they have done (eg the bubble).

I guess software is so ingrained into companies these days---and banks were particularly early adopters, that the best chance of a rewrite of a company's software is to start a new company.

A new company whose processes for example don't have all these interdependent edge cases (yet). The domain will start pushing edge cases on the new company too sooner or later, but that knowledge still has a chance to diffuse---and lots of newer companies these days are probably better at avoiding small bus factors.
Performance + latency => I dunno what world you live in. Apache is still stuck in the prefork era (not that it's mandatory but it is how it works most of the time). It's not even playing in the same order of magnitude.

Load balancing => Apache doesn't even support healthchecks. I won't even get into the lack of TCP/TLS support or the lack of some load balancing algorithms.
You can have Goodreads do something like this, in the newsletters and other mail section you can check the 'send me the monthly new releases email', 'only send this to me if it includes an author I've read', and click the customize button and deselect all of the genres.

And then you end up with an email which has new releases by authors you've read before.

I generally have no use for most of what Goodreads does, but this combined with the ability to pull my Kindle purchases in automatically is pretty useful.

Daily standups have been the most useful development I've seen in my 17 year career so far, I'm not sure why there's the hate for them.

Two things that bother me:

1) You either have to hold them at the start of the working day (in which case they become a synchronization point and everyone has to turn up at the same time -- which will inevitable be a bad time for some people) or a bit later (in which case you end up with an odd slot at the start of the day which usually isn't long enough to start on anything substantive).

2) They mandate daily visibility, and (by design, I think) prevent people going off for a week or two and solving something substantial on their own.

There are possible solution to (1) -- e.g. asynchronous stand ups in a chat client (and it's probably not coincidental that the only times I've found these things at all helpful, they've followed this model rather than the actual stand-up-in-circle thing). But (2) is kind-of the whole premise of "agile teams", so not sure what can be done about that.

Ecologically superior altneratives are in favor of the economy though, at least from the industry - think electric cars, alternative energy sources, nuclear fusion research, etc. A lot of those need to be encouraged or paid for by the governments though. They already discourage e.g. fossil fuel usage for consumers by raising high taxes for gasoline - where I live, taxes make up three quarters, if not more, of the price of gasoline.
I think it's been a misfire precisely because it was bad for users.

They couldn't get buttons right! The one button to rule them all thing was a flop that even their own apps have ditched, the only place I still see it is in myfitnesspal (and it's super annoying). It's surprising you can launch what's supposed to be UI/UX guidelines and get buttons wrong.

It was obviously untested and had no basis in actual UX satisfaction. They had an unproven theory at what a good UX would be and presented it as fact. I think because of that, the Material guidelines should be regarded as irrelevant. They were at best a designer's bad guess at what a good UX is.

In my opinion, there's loads of other components in there that are bad, for example the side menu, the experience of all material apps on desktops, it's a bad UX.

I don't think you should follow their guidelines.

I was doing something similar, two meals a day instead of your one, and then GERD occurred and fucked me really good for six months. My doctor told me that consuming all food in one or two sittings is the worst thing you can do long term because you end-up overfilling your stomach with food and given enough time acid will start escaping upwards. Of course everyone's organism is unique, I'm just expressing my concerns from my experience with similar dietary habits.
That's what i don't like from theminimalists.

I'm a minimalist but it doesn't mean that i have nothing in my flat. I enjoy watching stuff on netflix or playing computer games.

Being a minimalist and have basically nothing is just another form of 'hi i'm peter and i did something to an unnecessary extreme, please look at me'.

No internet at home no one will do this. Lots of people will try it but will stop doing it and haven't learnt anything from it.

Being a minimalist means having that mindset and evaluating all the time but being content with the status quo. If you have the feeling that you are using the internet too much, reduce it somehow but not by removing it completely.

It is the same with diet: No one will keep there weight when dieting. Change your eating habbits instead.

Most renewables are not reliable power sources, the wind blows when it blows. That is why a diverse power strategy is needed, including nuclear.

When you say the amount subsidised, what is your source, and what do you mean by 'more'? Do you mean more in total, or per kwh generated?
The example in this article is for game development. I've been thinking about this for SW development in general, and to me there seem to be two strong reasons why it makes more sense to have permanent employees than contractors:

- SW is never done. Any successful application is continually developed, so there are always more work to be done on the application.

- Knowledge gained. The longer you work on a product, the more you learn about it, the source code and the domain. With permanent employees, the knowledge is retained (until they quit), but with contractors the knowledge is lost more quickly.

Rational, practical people have always been quick to dismiss aesthetics in favour of functionality, but it turns out it's actually pretty important. People will use the ugly, functional thing if they have to, but they'll leave if they get a chance. I think this dynamic alone explains a large part of the success of a number of SaaS apps priced as is often advocated here to allow individual managers to buy it on a corporate credit card without going through procurement.

As an extreme worst-case scenario, consider post-war high-density architecture. With a few exceptions, they are various degrees of slum today, not because they lacked functionality (that came later when they were left to deteriorate), because anyone with the resources to left.

Back to software, I have had the pleasure of replacing a good number of ugly but functional line-of-business systems, and the eagerness with which users will adopt the new thing, almost entirely because it's pretty (it often doesn't much new for many users, the main improvements are on the backend and for power users), always catches me a bit off guard.

On the personal level, I've found that investing a bit of time up front in making a new thing pretty increases my personal level of happiness working on the thing, even if I end up changing entirely away from the original look as features evolve.

Proton spin crisis
While this is a practice that infuriates me in most cases, this article is quite hyperbolic if you take just a minute to look at the examples given.

Goodreads has a long list of checkboxes, ticked by default to send you an email in the case of an event, so it looks at first glance like they'll be bombarding you. But looking through the list of events, 90% of them are both significant (involving a deliberate action of a friend of yours on one of your account posts/reviews/&c.) and relatively infrequent (extremely infrequent in the case of my own account, which I would guess actually has above average activity in the context of all Goodreads users).

They should untick a few of them by default - e.g. the newsletters. However most of them make sense (unless you're of the opinion that all services should default to opt-out on all notification emails absolutely).

Also - anyone not reading the entire 100% of the article is going to miss Goodreads' redeeming feature at the very end.

- Use it as a phone

- use maps for navigation

- Check out gps stuff when sitting in a plain

- use the sync feature to have an up to date contact list

- get calendar notifications

- use it as an alarm clock

- use it for listing to music (but not that often)

Otherwise it is in my pocket but thats it. Like my keys. I don't use it at home at all.

What does that have to do with anything? I build search engines, but cannot afford to buy one. I don't count this as a great injustice.
Why So Many People Think the United Video Shows the Decline of America
1. The div is not keyboard-focusable by default, so you need to add `tabindex="0"`.
2. By default, the div does not trigger click on Enter/Space, so you need to add a keyup handler to make it do so.
3. Screen readers won't report the div as a button because they can't identify widgets based on how they look, so add `role="button"` as per the ARIA spec (only on first cup of coffee now, so I'm not providing a link.)

Yes, it isn't super complicated, but a) most don't do it because they look identical and b) multiply that by any other widget where the HTML version is replaced with a div and suddenly things get complicated. If you're not a keyboard user, you may not understand how the web works without a mouse. All that is lost when switching to divs.

This says nothing about how OS/screen reader combinations differ in key handling, nor about how complex widgets such as multiselects include similarly complex key handling. Also, the above ARIA is super simplistic. It doesn't handle situations where, for instance, you have multiple roles and have to toggle some of them based on what item is selected, what item is focused, etc.

So, TLDR: It's so much better to use the HTML elements specifically designed for a certain task because you get a lot for free that is taken for granted. That said, I like how Semantic specifies how my UI might look, an wish I could have the best of both worlds.
The main benefit - IMO - is that it's relatively compact, lightweight, and solid compared to CO2. If there was a cheap and simple way to condense CO2 into a solid, we could stuff that into the ground instead. But CO2 would have to be stored indefinitely - we will probably see the catastrophic effects of what happens when stored CO2 is released in the atmosphere (permafrost, ice and ocean sediments are releasing their stored CO2 atm). Actually, fossil fuels can be considered to be stored, solid or liquid CO2 already, accumulated over tens or hundreds of millions of years.

On that scale, putting something away for 10K years seems relatively trivial and safe compared to CO2.

They mostly follow the sun these days. Now that they are both older (5+) we tend to flex the schedule +/- 1 hour or so. Read them a story for a few minutes and they have all the skills to put themselves to sleep easily now.

The specific time does not matter so much as the routine and consistency. The trickiest thing to work around is the Sun. My kids tend to do best when the Sun is mostly set. Some of the time they do pop up earlier. But like all things it changes. At my kids age my role in the morning is quite different from what it used to be :)
In France we have much nuclear energy, yes it doesn't create much CO2 but the downsides are severe: expensive, long cycles, energy has to be stored in dams anyway. Nuclear incidents get concealed regularly. Leaving nuclear energy is expensive itself.

It seems solar and wind are better investments.
>If the content you write has inherent value, why not host it yourself?

Well for one thing, "inherent value" is never what attracts readers/buyers/whoever, marketing is. So putting your content on a platform that makes people more likely to see it is much more in alignment with certain goals. And if you're considering putting articles on Medium, I'm guessing ad revenue is not one of your goals.

Isn't it obvious to check how much of the checkmarks there is before you start unchecking them?

In order to do so, you have to scroll to the bottom of the page. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll notice that there's a "save settings" button, and without clicking on the bottom, you'll be unchecking them for nothing. And if you notice that button, you're going to notice "unsubscribe from all emails" link right below it.

I don't see that as being more crappy UX than the rest of the Goodreads design.

Since you mentioned that you are a math student, I highly recommend Stein and Shakarchi's "Fourier Analysis: An Introduction".

It is a rigorous treatment that covers a lot of the essentials of Fourier theory, while also covers some very interesting "math applications" (e.g Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions at the end), as well as "mixed applications" (e.g Radon transforms that are used in imaging but are also of interest from a math perspective).

Note that this book requires an introductory analysis class as a prereq; basically you need to be familiar with the standard Riemann integral theory and rigorous treatment of limits, continuity, and derivatives.
