Thank you for the correction.

It seems like this sort of energy could be very feasible with supercaps, lithium-ion, or lead acid, at that level.
I'm not so sure, because "not helpful" in the day-to-day experience in the technological civilisation is not the same as not helpful in the long term.

E.g. the progress of the technological civilization itself might not even be in our long term advantage as a species (we might think it is, but that's not the same as it being -- e.g. every too developed civilization might collapse over complexity, or kill itself, irrationality or not).

As a native English speaker I disagree with this pedantry. It's correctly plural.

Dictionary.com says:

2. As a collective noun, number, when preceded by a, is most often treated as a plural: A number of legislators have voiced their dissent. When preceded by the, it is usually used as a singular: The number of legislators present was small.

> There is no "debate".

There, in fact, is a still-hunting debate about whether the Paris Accord is a treaty in Constitutional terms (and thus would have required ratification to be in force; note that there is.no serious legal debate about the fa that the term “treaty” has a broader meaning in international law than US Constitutional law) or whether it is the type of agreement that could be implemented as a sole executive agreement. Prior to Trump's recent announcement, the debate was about whether the US was properly a party to the Accord, now it's about whether it is proper to characterize Trump's act as “withdrawal” from the Accord.

The fact that you have a strongly-held opinion (apparently based on a naïve conflation of the international law and Constitutional law meanings of “treaty” which even those who share your conclusion generally avoid) on the debate does not mean that the debate does not exist.

This is a head scratcher for me. First: doesn’t Microsoft offer OneDrive which is functionally equivalent to Dropbox? You seem to be saying MS doesn’t have incentives to do something they’ve already done.

Second: I realize everyone’s experience is different, but the three times I’ve had the misfortune to interact with Dropbox shared files (once in a corporate setting, twice with files shared by acquaintances outside work), it just didn’t work. So the meme that Dropbox is a reliable mechanism for sharing to others confuses me.

I agree, but you're going too far saying NIMBYs are scum. They are defending their interests, just like the companies that want to locate equipment in the neighborhoods. Also the microcell sites are hideous and noisy. They normally consist of a large number of boxes mounted on a telephone pole with a spaghetti mass of cable interconnecting them. There is no way the Bell System would have offered that mess. It's symptomatic of a post-industrial society.

Telecom has been taken over by purely profit-seeking players and the result is a zero-trust, adversarial relationship. Part of the zero-trust is that the residents lose all bargaining power after the thing is installed, so they are incentivized to fight as hard as possible up front. Ironically the telecoms spend a large amount on legal fees to force these eyesores into communities (I forget my source for this), instead of spending it to engineer an attractive and quiet solution.

Uber and Lyft are far from profitable. Some people have described Uber as a public charity.

You also misunderstand what Uber is doing beyond building a simple app and opening signups. They spend an enormous amount of money (many billions) marketing, which is necessary to keep both sides of the market. Without enough drivers, riders will leave. Without enough riders, drivers will leave. They need to keep both sides engaged.

They're also putting a lot of effort into lobbying and getting around taxi laws. It's expensive and legally risky.

Finally, both Uber and Lyft have tested subscriptions and seem to have decided against them.

If you redesign the districts to be purely on population you'll skew policy so hard towards urban life that you destroy the rural, agricultural base of the country.

If you care at all about being provided with food, it is unwise to ignore those who live outside of a city or you cut your own throat.

Democrats don't seem to get this because they care too much about their social issues, and Republicans aren't much better about this for the last decade.

Only Trump seems to have figured this out and smartly got rural America on his side.
Exactly. There are plenty of laboratory schools attached to universities, where teaching research is done under the eyes of the public. Those are as a rule doing well but Zuckerberg chose to boost unaccountable charter schools. Glad to see that it went as one would have predicted it to go.

There's good debt and then there's bad debt.

Good debt is one where you use other people's money to build your own wealth in appreciating assets.

Bad debt is where you borrow on credit to buy yourself a momentary satisfaction, like a trinket.

Most people think they're richer than they actually are. Which is why it's so common for people to "spoil" themselves. Learning to live cheaply is a skill and takes a bit of pride swallowing as the people around you live more lavishly on less income.

Unfortunately there a lot of people who are quite a bit overconfident about their financial state due to swollen housing prices.

Great response from the dev, I wonder if this scales for popular projects though.

I've started to use Prettier on all projects. I don't even bother with things like these anymore. If the code is valid, it'll format my JS code uniformly, and if it's not I get a big red error telling me something up, precisely at line:x. I'm not sure if it would catch the edge-case this `;` at the beginning of the file is trying to solve though.

>In technical terms: Prettier parses your JavaScript into an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) and pretty-prints the AST, completely ignoring any of the original formatting*. Say hello to completely consistent syntax!

It's like go fmt for Javascript.

> Keep in mind the true incentive of unions like the SEIU which pushed for this change is to improve the wages of their members, even if it comes at the expense of other workers who are 1) willing to work for less

This kind of rhetoric is classic divide-and-conquer, which oddly seems to be applied more to labor than employers. I've never heard a company criticized for working in its own best interest and not for the benefit of all employers.

And honestly, I have the least concern for protecting the labor right to work-for-less than the other guy, especially if "less" is a pittance with no benefits.
They also don't typically operate government labs, which is a good way to pay for infrastructure and facilities and toys.

> Where as if you intentionally designed districts to be like like 90-10 (or whatever possible), more people are happy.

Right, and that's the right way to do it. The wrong, current way, is to design the districts so their own party has a slight majority everywhere, thus winning more seats overall, not a significant majority in the areas where they are strongest.

The problem is that there's a conflict of interest, so redistricting shouldn't be in the hands of the politicians with a vested interest in winning.

I don't think that really stacks up. A lot of the really interesting research into non-mainstream monetary theory (i.e post-Keynesian/modern monetary theory) is saying the opposite - that the size of the money supply is actually hugely important, and not having enough at certain times has caused as many problems as other times when there has been too much.

The money supply really needs to be flexible to account for the amount of goods and services produced by the economy. Too much and you have inflation, too little and you get stagnation.

So I don't believe that a currency based on a fixed supply of money would ever actually be workable long term (and unsurprisingly gold and other commodity backed currencies have never lasted).

Usury
Everyone I know goes south every single year. The Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico but also Thailand, Australia. All they do is sit on a beach and drink until blackout drunk.

I have never gone on a trip to any of those places or anywhere else because I save my money (I'd rather Rome or Tokyo). Yet people with absolutely no money or on unemployment, a dozen kids etc. It seems everyone goes no matter the cost and every single year.

I know people say "travel now while you can" but I don't want to be 65, poor, an alcoholic, and with with blond hair, bald and blue eyes I'd probably end up with melanoma.

It uses wealth as a measure of inequality, which is an instant sign that it's not written by someone who has thought about the problem and tried to honestly change minds.

Democracy for Realists: Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government

https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Realists-Elections-Responsi...

"...show that the familiar ideal of thoughtful citizens steering the ship of state from the voting booth is fundamentally misguided. They demonstrate that voters--even those who are well informed and politically engaged--mostly choose parties and candidates on the basis of social identities and partisan loyalties, not political issues. They also show that voters adjust their policy views and even their perceptions of basic matters of fact to match those loyalties. When parties are roughly evenly matched, elections often turn on irrelevant or misleading considerations such as economic spurts or downturns beyond the incumbents' control; the outcomes are essentially random. Thus, voters do not control the course of public policy, even indirectly."

Those of us doing policy work using educate and persuade strategies need to adapt, up our game.
until their vote during the next election goes against your agenda....

You cannot not care about part of the population, even if you think it's their fault they're not doing better. Because the day they go to the streets to tear apart society as we know it, is when it's too late to care about them. Sad but true, history has shown this is how it works.

Maybe it's extreme, but it's something to keep in mind. I had this very conversation with my grandpa the other day. He told me "well, you cannot care only about yourself, because you have to make sure other people/classes/whatever aren't so unhappy as to start a revolution."

The system the US help setup in Iraq was that half the house was local represention, then the wasted votes (didn't get your candidate locally, your candidate votes over majority) are given to the party they represent to buy seats in the other half of the house.
