This crazy world you describe applies in a different axis! Vertical movement of air happens on a much smaller scale, so it tends to cancel out as you fly through it. If you climb in the updrafts and descend in the downdrafts, you only make it worse. Better to ride it out.
Really agree on the inequality point, especially in the West around Xinjiang. Some of the stories my friends have told me about growing up there were ridiculous.

I think after you travel around China a bit, it's really difficult to see it as a first world country that's at the forefront of innovation.

You can go to a city like Shenzhen and see all these cool products being launched and huge skyscrapers, which is impressive given 30 years ago it was just a fishing village overshadowed by Hong Kong. But then you travel around and see that a lot of China consists of huge cities with shoddy living conditions and very limited opportunities.

> Communism lead to somewhere between 85 and 100 million deaths in the 20th century:

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_Communist_...

All your link to a single footnote on a Wiki page shows is that some anti-Communist contributer to some anti-Communist book about how the Nazis and the Holocaust were nothing special - disowned and discredited even by its own main authors - claims "between 85 and 100 million" victims of Communism.

Numbers arrived at by including:

1. Forces invading Communist countries
2. Civilians in Communist countries killed by foreign aggressors
3. Anti-Semitic militias who carried out mass murders against Jews
4. Simply adding millions from nowhere (admitted by at least one author of the book)

Nobody in their right mind takes that book seriously; not the authors and not the people who use it to score political points.

There is a persistent myth that the PS2 and PS3 supported OpenGL. I've worked on both and I can tell you that the implementations were nothing more than experiments that were used by near-zero and zero games, respectively.
I use (and like) Lektor. It's very flexible and easy to get started with. Hugo was another contender, but I found it very hard to understand and work with, and it took some hacks to do a very simple thing I wanted, so I abandoned it quickly.

I'm sorry. As a user, to me "offline mobile first experience" sounds like a synonym for "this website takes more than 30 seconds to load and drags my phone down to its knees and the author was just too lazy to write a native app". I don't mean that as an insult, but as a user that is precisely what that sounds like to me. Nothing about web apps I have access to acts to change my mind in this respect. They're all incredibly slow to load, especially over anything less than LTE. For extra credit, they usually take up so much RAM that Chrome RAM usage ends up kicking out all background applications out of RAM on my phone.

While true, the reason covered skin wounds heal faster is often due to the cover stops the drying out of the wound which slows healing.

I can (and do) use the EC2 instance for other things. It often pulls quadruple duty. The available bandwidth also allows me crank up rtorrent to aggressively seek other peers, such that a typical 45 minute episode takes about 15 minutes to download in 1080p. I then feed the https URL to VLC and watch the file. Torrenting directly here always takes longer. I've never tried a VPN, but it wouldn't make the bits travel any faster.

Additionally, in my household everything with a CPU and a network interface ends up getting cannibalized for some project or another. There must be a name for this phenomenon.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. There was a decent sized EDM festival a couple of years ago in bum-fuck Lolo Hot Springs, Montana (Lolo Hot Springs is basically the last stop in MT on US Rte 12 headed towards Idaho - it's about 40-60 minutes from Lolo proper. It's only claims to fame are the hot springs and Lewis & Clark stopped there. I'm not even sure the population is in the triple digits). Hell, if I'd known about it before hand, I'd have used it as an excuse to visit my parents in Lolo. A couple of my favorite US based d'n'b DJs played that event. Alas, I didn't know about it until well after the fact.

Granted, you said decent scene, and I wouldn't necessarily qualify a single "large" event (for the region) a decent scene, but it doesn't mean there has to be nothing.

edit: Also, some of the regional small cities can attract a lot of shows. Boise, ID is particularly good at it, even with a pop < 250k. Boise also has a pretty decent tech drawing, but that's more on the hardware side, I think, Boise is Micron's headquarters. Boise is also a great city to live in. My parents were there for a while when I was in college. Quite a fun city for its size. Ethnic foods are somewhat limited, but you can get very good Mexican and Basque food there (loved the Basque food in particular).

This isn't too surprising to someone who has a passing familiarity with the state: thriving college towns, friendly business climate, low cost of living, plentiful land, a strong focus on education and healthcare, smart infrastructure spending, and strong tradition of citizen involvement in government. It ranks highly on many metrics, and, perhaps more importantly, avoids low rankings on others.

This year, the rest of the top five are Minnesota, Utah, North Dakota, and New Hampshire, all well-deserved; Iowa climbs to the top, while Minnesota and New Hampshire have been consistent top performers for many years.

It's enlightening to compare a list of states by inequality to this list [1]. It reveals that many high-demand locales are in fact quite unequal, while many of the states ranked highly in the article are more equal in terms of income disparity between the lowest and highest earners.

On income equality alone, a state like Iowa will be less attractive to someone tolerant of risk and confident in their ability to execute than some other states with wider gaps, but it will remain a good choice for someone seeking stability and a high quality of life.

They want to control the APIs so they can tie them more closely to their hardware. Most game devs I’ve heard from that want cross platform are more concerned with wether Unreal or Unity supports Metal than what OSs supppory which OpenGL or Vulkan APIs.

How does this work out for Git repos and other things with encryption backed histories? If I run a software project and a developer wants an identifying section of a repo back-edited, do I have to edit and rebase the whole repo, and what does this do to the trust in a project that is based on a verifiable history?

Also, I can't help but notice that currently there is a hell of a lot of money being bet on immutable public ledgers.

In China, during the past decade, the property prices always rise even from just a hint of a new subway station. So blocking development of new routes/stations is just dampening the housing price, the last thing most homeowners want.

Of course, in the United States people are more comfortable with their own cars, and less reliant on public transport. So the effect remains to be seen.
That part is actually harder for me to understand. The photon experiences no passage of time, right? And yet it does move through space. Or would you say that, from the reference point of a photo, there is no movement in time or space?

Or perhaps it’s better to just say that the concept of reference points hits an asymptote at velocity c, so it simply doesn’t make sense to talk about the reference frame of a photon.

I live in Des Moines, many of us bike year round. The paved bike trails are well maintained in all seasons and there are many miles of them. Snow and ice in the metro areas are promptly removed, though this often takes a while in some of the more remote areas. We also ride single track and winter only trails on fatbikes made to handle the snow. It's fantastic. Also, we have mountain bike trails and we do have a lot of elevation change. The difference here is we have what's called rollers. Ends up being forced intervals and make for a great workout. As a trail steward, I maintain one of the local trails near Des Moines and here's a link to the page that coordinates our efforts and catalogs the trails in the central Iowa region. http://www.centraliowatrails.com/ Whiterock recently opened and is fantastic. ~30 miles of single track and double track with around 3000 ft of climbing for a full lap.

Not sure how you can conclude it’s the middle class and not the rich

What good are the middle class to do when they have to work daily to afford shelter?

Yeah they don’t need a McMansion but most do not.

Numerous studies and polls have concluded the people want to work on feeding, clothing, sheltering, and caring one another

But we’re induced to grow the fiat economy despite those interests

If pricing was as simple as "charge more” then business would be so much easier. You really want to charge the price that maximises your net present value. This is not a easy number to calculate as there are so many moving parts.

I have often wondered if there was a business in just feature copying a well known SAAS business and selling at exactly 50% the price. The selling pitch would be "identical product, but half the cost because we don’t have the massive SV overheads." I have seen quite a few examples of this in practice, but none where it is blatantly stated.

It's important to see that it's not a mere case of taking an existing principle and extending it too far; it's an entirely new principle.

What is NIMBYism? NIMBYism is opposition to necessary structures (that we all want) being built in specific places (e.g. near me). NIMBYism is saying that, while you understand that we need a water treatment plant -- you agree that we should build one -- you want to locate it on the other side of town (i.e. not in my backyard).

That's not what this is.

This is the desire to limit building entirely. It's the desire to prevent certain areas from growing, getting bigger. It's an opposition to density. It's a reactionary, conservative, nostalgic preference for the past. It's the belief that San Francisco should look like it did on the day you bought your house for the rest of all time. And it's an attempt to lock in enormous housing gains.

These are not the same thing. One is not "taking the other too far." It's a totally different thing.

The biggest issue to user's privacy has traditionally been data breaches.

All this needed was fine for data breaches. Not the mess called GDPR.

That gets me a long way, and I have TerrariumTV on the fire stick for the few things I can't easily get legitimately.

If you care about the rest of the country you should ask why the fire hose of investment money is directed at SF and New York and not elsewhere. Instead of asking what's wrong with San Francisco. Why not ask what's wrong with the rest of the US?

Sure I can name a bunch of reasons why little housing is built in California, we can start with the Libertarian wet dream that is Prop 13. Prop 13 does two things, removes any incentive for muni's to approve new housing. And starves the government of funding to pay for public goods like schools and mass transit. The zoning restrictions Libertarians bitch about are partly the direct result of that.

Okay fine. But then still the question is, even if we admit California has issues, why is it that corporations which are totally free to locate elsewhere aren't doing so? You would think with a large cost differential corporations would move. Why not?

Because neoliberal conservative dominated governments in the rest of the US means that VC's, engineers, and mangers don't want to live in those places at all. So they and their companies are paying a large premium not to.
