Substitute "tenement apartment" for "shack" and "slumlord" for "former truck farmer", then subtract "living near formerly productive fruit trees". You now have a story that describes many times more people than your original.

The politics of privilege basically says that unless you have had the worst life that it is possible to have, you have to yield to anyone that had anything worse off than you. Since the word "elitism" is what brought all that into the conversation, perhaps it was a poor choice.

While at previous times in history, it might have been a mark of elite privilege to not have to pick your own fresh produce, that is no longer the case. Now, having fruit trees and a garden in your backyard means you are lucky enough to have direct control over a portion of your food supply, and can therefore choose to grow food with flavor and nutrition, rather than superior shelf life, visual appeal, and transportability--which are the characteristics that the grocery store will choose for you.

The apples that grew in my (rented) backyard as a kid were sour, with a woody texture, and were usually covered in wasps or ants. But they certainly did taste better than store-bought Red Delicious. The ants added a lemony flavor. I never thought to try the wasps.
You can eat bacon, drink whiskey, and smoke every day of your life, and live past 90. You might also die by 55. Roll them dice...

> There is no question in my mind that I would confront anyone I knew engaging in the situation you're describing. Among my circles, injustices always seem to be a third person.

But there should be a question in your mind unless you've actually confronted something like this yourself (with all of it's associated complexity). Until then, your certainty is only a fantasy.
That's the beautiful thing about depreciation, it doesn't really matter. Depreciation is just a way to see how costs are being allocated over time, more realistically. It allows you to predict how much you have left to recoup on capex projects.

The real question (if you believe Apple will close down) is do you believe anyone will be interested in occupying the office space? Remember, the office could house more than one tenet. Or maybe they choose to offload the property in a sale.

It's the same principle I use when negotiating gym rental contracts: Schools aren't using their gyms all the time. They have downtime, i.e., they're undersubscribed, so they offer hours for rent at marginal cost.
$0 is even less than $4. So why forbid them from making even those paltry $4?

Supplying sufficient video to be responsible for 25% of consumer internet bandwidth is a different story.
I can understand how one can believe that it will all work out fine, after all one can easily form mental experiments (and find supporting evidence) supporting either outcome. But this absolutely steadfast refusal to even consider the possibility that once it is China who holds all the cards and it is them who are making the big decisions for the world that perhaps, just perhaps, life may not work out quite as nicely as before.

Perhaps I'm a bit jaded from my experience living in Vancouver, but historically Canadians had the option to move here and accept a somewhat lower standard of living in exchange for the nicer climate we enjoy. That option is now largely gone, and I expect it to be completely gone within 10 years, and after that it will be the other most desirable locations in the rest of Canada. It is simple economics. Aussies and New Zealanders among others are experiencing the same thing.

Of course, detractors can easily point to government "statistics" (that completely ignore blind corporations, proxy purchases, etc) showing foreign activity in real estate to be <5%, but I suspect the main reason most everyone (or at least voters) chooses to "believe" this obviously fake data is because a lot of people are making a loooooot of money from this shift in world order. For now. Let's see how happy are when it is their (and their children's) turn to pay the piper. You made a couple million bucks on your house? Great! Better hope you have only one child, because you cannot buy a home in Vancouver with earned income any longer. Oh sure, you can get a condo, for now, but soon even that option will be beyond reach. Luckily for Canadians we have a near infinite amount of beautiful land (weather, not so much), so there will always be somewhere for us to go, other countries I'm not so sure are similarly blessed. But either way, I'd have rather we retained our sovereignty.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
I understand your point. I don't agree with it. I don't think the meaning of the word "privilege" has become so narrowly defined that it automatically provokes outrage like this.

If, in fact, "privilege" does in fact trigger this massive anger you say it does, then I totally agree that its use is counterproductive. I just don't see it.
One of the experiments measures serum ghrelin levels in humans after consuming a fixed volume of liquid; you can directly compare degassed carbonated beverage (DCB) and regular carbonated
beverages (RCB) in their tables.

This controls for the concern you raise above regarding palatability of the beverage, so I don't think that can be a factor there. Critically, there's a statistically significant difference between water and RCB, but not between water and DCB (though the ghrelin level was higher in DCB than water).

From my reading of the paper your concern could certainly be relevant in the rat experiment; I couldn't see any attempt to control for or measure the amount of liquid that the rats consumed, so they could have been drinking less decarbonated beverage.
Alternatively, twitters market cap went up 1.4%, which is well within the usual ups and downs of normal trading throughout the day.

Maybe it was because of this. Maybe it was because some analyst put out a piece on a private feed that said "Twitter might make more money someday".

I dunno, I grew up shopping at Key Food in Brooklyn. Key Food sucks. Gristedes is indeed worse. Even the revamped Key Food sucks. It's way more expensive than grocery stores in other lower cost of living states that I have lived in since. Even the high end NYC grocery stores are basically just bad and expensive compared to a lot of other places in the country.

Sure, transportation isn't all of it. Most of it is probably labor and real estate. But how awful it is to drive a truck in NYC versus how easy it is to make commercial deliveries in just about any other city or town in America has a lot to do with it, especially because the article babbles an awful lot about the challenge of delivering stuff to cities from rural areas. It's way more complicated to deliver goods to Manhattan (an island) than in most American places which just involve pulling off an interstate exit and making a delivery.

If the question is whether or not it makes sense to focus on

a( Heavy public investment into fake-tech urban farms

or

b( Identifying the really big sources of the costs and working to bring those down

I think b( is the better way to go. I think we could probably agree on that. I don't really know the specifics because I'm shooting off the hip about another lame urban farming article. Come to think of it real estate prices are probably what make up the bulk of the added cost on top of what the consumer pays in other markets and not delivery costs. But the purported problem that these farms are supposed to fix are the cost of bringing food from rural areas to cities.

Personally I doubt that even if the magical infrastructure fairy gave the mayor a quintillion dollar grant to spend on infrastructure improvements that anything positive would happen (it would probably get much worse somehow). But again, the problem that this is supposed to fix is the cost of bringing food in from rural areas.

What skills does Biz have exactly? It always seemed like Ev was a product genius, Jack was the business brains, but Biz?
Came here to say the same thing, it's absolutely INSANE how much we subsidize, for example, corn. So it's no wonder there's plentiful cheap corn being stuffed into processed foods (incidentally also increasing the amount of processed food) and overwhelmingly what our cattle are fed with.
Given that large numbers of obese people don't actually know a way to sustainably and healthily lose weight, focusing on figuring that out would be a good idea. Note that if the solution is "develop the habit of X", we'd also need to figure out how to actually develop that habit alongside raising kids, holding a job, and not alienating your spouse by hangrily shouting at them.

(I include myself in the set of people who don't know the solution, though I've never had this problem. My very naive intuition is that http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/25/book-review-the-hungry-... is a... reasonable jumping-off point?)
Those are hypothetical causes but they don't actually line up with all the observations. For instances, poor people are fatter than rich people. Shouldn't rich people be fatter since they
1) don't have to work as much manual labor
2) have more access to food.

You can try complicate the explanations to account for this but the fact is that it shows that the 'obvious' reasons most people surmise are not so clear cut and need to be tested like any hypothesis. It's a hard problem to test and there are several other competing hypothesis. The best I can say for my own beliefs is that we need to have more studies that need to be done before I'm convinced of any of them.
I totally understand the need for sources in informed discussions, but I also feel like these topics have been so well documented that they have reached a point where asking someone for a source every time they throw out the fact that companies are "Tracking people across the web" is a contrived roadblock at best, and purposely stifling to discussion at worst.

With that said, I don't want to just single you out since this is a common practice, so I went ahead and found sources for you:

Which also cuts in half the number of customers for the businesses.

In urban planning, one has to be careful to solve the correct problem. The problem is not too many cars parked on a residential street. The problem is getting customers to businesses with minimal bad side effects.

Any "parking solution" that kills the businesses to fix the parking is not actually a solution.
> How many times are we going to have this ridiculous suggestion that less characters/words is automatically better.

Fewer is better, in this case, and anyone who spends a large portion of their time in a terminal will likely agree. In most situations, one simply wants to answer a query or perform an operation as soon and as painlessly as possible and move on with their work.

How pretty the command is is irrelevant. You're never going to look at it again once it gives you the answer.

The point is that with this configuration you can use or buy software that normally runs on Ubuntu.
Is it evil or selfish? I think selfishness can be perceived as evil but I don't think people are intentionally evil to others. I think humans are inherently selfish which makes other's feel as though one's actions are evil.

"Treat humans like humans" also is defined based on where and how you were raised.
This is a scale-out solution, it's just higher performance / lower effort than building your own solution from commodity harwdare. Enterprises often want to buy canned, supported solutions rather than expend the R&D to build their own.

What workload does this configuration make sense for? I don't know, especially with those ARM cores. My guess would be the cluster performs well on workloads similar to Apache Spark. But I don't know why you would choose one over the other.

There are many different psychiatric issues.

MDMA may throw someone out of an acute depression, but for people with genetic predispositions towards depression, it will get back after a few weeks. And you can't microdose, nor take MDMA regularly.

As for cocaine - Ritalin is cocaine light really. Both increase dopamine, and reduce anxiety in low enough doses.

As for replacing Xanax, it affects GABA if I'm not mistaken, which is a completely different animal altogether. For people who have issues on that front (i.e. experience panic attacks often, due to brain chemistry, not because of traumatic memories), no amount of MDMA therapy, or stimulants, will help.
For a lot of people with experience of abuse, animal relationships are arguably superior to human ones because animals are more emotionally reliable.

Another way to look at this is to consider humans as eusocial animals and speculate on whether someone is more concerned with their identity/position within a given or monolithic social body or their position as a discrete conscious individual. Over time the dichotomy between these positions might result in acute psychic stresses.

There's a conjectural argument that schizoid tendencies are an evolutionary remnant of social organization, most famously explore din Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, which is worth reading even if you reject his thesis.
Why does shaming people not work? If we learnt there had been a secret government policy to reduce obesity by subtly promoting thin musicians and actors at the expense of their fatter competitors, and saw how successfully they promoted this idea of a healthy weight - we'd be in awe of this feat of propaganda/marketing/behavioural economics. That part has been done really well: in the West, fat people aren't beautiful and, with exceptions, successful people are not fat.

Gym memberships are at a high. The amount of time and money people invest purely in their fitness is at a high. Yet so is obesity. The behavioural forces making people fat are stronger even than the social, sexual and economic pressures driving people to be thin.
Walmart and McDonald's employ a big portion of their employers at minimum wage (and would perhaps pay less, if that was legal). Alas, the customers of Walmart and McDonald's are mostly poor people, too. If the price rises are real, those poor people are footing the bill.

Whereas rich people tend to shop at more upscale places where the minimum wage is not a binding constraint (ie people make more).

Instead of effectively taxing poor people to pay for other poor people via induced price rises; why not tax rich people with eg an income tax and distribute the proceed via a social safety net or a basic income to the poor?
The dystopia has been abstracted.

Self-driving cars, yes. Car-sharing, probably not. There are many car rental schemes now, but they're a niche market. Zipcar is not going to take over the world.
Funny how that map aligns, at least to the a first approximation, with red-blue voting. Of course, voting aligns reasonably with a number of the other variables (obesity, smoking, etc).

I agree with your line of thinking. But at really big companies with hundreds of small teams, all working on separate projects, when the boss says to hook all that stuff together I'm sure a solution like Spanner looks really delicious and cost-effective.

Take a homeless person and let them sleep in your kitchen in exchange for mowing your lawn -> moral hero.

Build a mansion around this kitchen -> morally reprehensible

It seems contrast in an unrelated area has confused the morally righteous over here.

Do you own a nice car? Have a room in your house that is currently empty? There are people out there who could use some of that wealth for food.

How would you feel if this wasn't a mansion but instead a small shack with only a kitchen and an adjacent room?

It seems we're ok with:
Low contrast at any distance,
High contrast at large distances.

But not high contrast at short distances

It's good the woman in the story has shelter and a place to sleep.

I don't know why people are so adamant about this being an outlier. Yes, not all tech companies pay $300k+ for senior engineers. But Netflix/Google/Facebook do. I don't know why that should be a problem for people. Denying it, and mocking anyone who brings it up, just depresses wages for engineers across the board.
Hah, mine is Cherry Browns as well.

I enjoy it. I used a $10 Wal-mart one before this one and I haven't tried any others.

I enjoy it because it is small and light. I used to take mine to work until my work bought one for me.

I bought it mostly for the size. I never really used the number bad, dedicated arrows were pointless to me. Basically the only thing I ever really use is numbers, symbols and letters so a small keyboard works for me.
It wasn't occasional dog barking, it was constant, going on for hours.

Add to that one neighbor who had a stupid pit bull that got out a lot, and bit two people.

On top of that, at one place I had neighbors across the street who had some stupid friends who drove up every day to pick up someone and honked their horn until that person came out of the house.

No, modified compact cars are a suburban thing. It's hard for a young person to modify their car when they don't have a garage. You can't modify your car with some POS muffler in a high-rise.

My girlfriend lives in a high-rise in a city. While there are occasional sirens and the regular sound of the subway train, there's no real traffic noise (not close enough to the freeway for that, this is pretty low-traffic residential), and certainly no yelling or loud music, and with the parking being in a parking garage with keycard access there's no worry about car vandalism either. I don't see any shitty modified compact cars there either. Overall, she seems to have less annoying noise than I had to deal with in my suburban homes that I used to live in. I'll take train noise over barking dogs any time. I don't know what the problem is with so many Americans that they just love the sound of dogs barking their heads off for hours and hours. But I only have seen this in suburbs and rural areas, never cities.

My point is that the business owner/developer should decide when to migrate to a different API or if it even makes sense for them to even migrate, not Google.
