How to Make Hair Growth in a Week – 4 Men and Women
The economic efficiency is demonstrated by the greater job growth in urban areas. I'll easily find stats on this when I get off mobile. And this is the first time I've heard someone claim that sprawl and dispersed populations are environmentally better than urban areas. Not only do dispersed populations need greater land development, they need significantly more energy used in transportation to deliver the same quality of life. I saw a stat that compared the per capita carbon footprint of wealthy countries and it was essentially inversely proportional to levels of urbanization. And like the economy one, sit tight for an hour or do for me to get home and share this data.

Sources for greater economic growth in urban areas:

https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/rural-economy-population/emp...

Countries by CO2 emissions per-capita: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...

Countries by urbanization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization_by_country

And that's not even getting into things like the amount of land that gets developed for low density homes and services, roads, water reservoirs, electric lines, etc.

Wealthy rural countries (USA, Australia, Russia), produce more carbon than dense wealthy countries. Granted, I wouldn't be surprised if carbon emissions and environmental impact of the average city resident was higher than the average rural resident - but that's largely a result of the fact that rural residents are generally less wealthy. This is definitely true on a global scale (the countries with the lowest carbon footprints are poor, rural ones), and I wouldn't be surprised if it were true on a nation wide scale. I didn't explicitly state it in in the first post, but I did clarify in the second that this was for the same standard of living.

On a side note, an interesting thing to look into is how Singapore manages to provide so much services with such a small budget - 14.2% of GDP per capita as opposed to 26% in the US. A huge part of this is because it's so much more efficient to provide services when you're dealing with population concentrated in such a small area. Imagine how much more money (and energy) it takes to deliver electricity, running water, sewage, emergency services, education, etc. to households in Oregon where 4 million people are distributed across 98,466 square miles as opposed to concentrating them all in 278 square miles. Even if things like land and labor cost more, so much overhead and operational costs are saved by not having to service such a massive area.
The thing is all his examples apply to cash as well. But I'm sure he, like his globalist ilk, wants to get rid of it as well.

Personally I was thinking purely in terms of the various forms of pollution, although the Harvard study does try to account for injury and loss of life. Externality is an economic theory, far from a euphemism.

It’s easy to gauge how many lives are lost due to the automobile. But how many lives are saved? How many lives are enriched? How many lives are even made possible because of the automobile?

You can look at only the costs of a thing, but I find the appeal to emotion, similar to gun control arguments, to be entirely unconvincing.

Furthermore, technology has steadily improved the safety of these machines, and I’m convinced we’re less than a decade away from a quantum leap in safety by automating more and more of the driving process.

As automobiles get quieter, safer, less polluting, available on demand, and less expensive, I’m afraid you’re going to see quite a bit more of them, not less.

It’s nothing less than economic warfare to ban diesel cars outright from entering a city. Ban the sale of new diesels if you want. Tax the hell out of diesel fuel if you want. Add a toll booth and set a lower speed limit. But your well meaning compatriots spent their hard earned money to buy their vehicles and if you’d just assume fuck them over for it, I’m sure they will find a way to repay the favor. Probably by not coming to your city (and spending their money there) in the first place. To which you might say, “Good riddance!” And we have an expression for that too.

Oftentimes there is an entirely valid reason to get in a car and drive somewhere. I know, this may be shocking to you. Shocking to the people talking about bicycling a couch uphill downthread too.

There are 45 million passenger cars in Germany (for 82 million people) so it seems you’re in the minority on this. Before you call for just outright banning cars, maybe consider how you could make public policy which would decrease the number of cars by 10% without increasing the cost of cars.

Can someone explain the big appeal of TiVo to me, or at least what their appeal was?
The set top boxes I've gotten from different providers are always a bit hit or miss, but never so bad I felt a need to purchase external equipment. It's been "good enough" and I never heard of a good enough reason to invest in TiVo. Was it the UX?
For example, I purchased an Apple Extreme to use as my interface for my routers because there was a convenience to keeping all of my devices on the same wifi credentials, and only having to switch the ISPs hardware to bridge mode.

But I could never see the value proposition with TiVo hardware, though everyone who had it seems to have adored it.

Buses regularly have speakers announcing the stop (85th and X) that can be heard at quite a distance.

I guess people think this is a joke or nimbyism, but it is a legit concern. We all know by know how important sleep is to health. well, that rapid transit noise (even bus) is a factor. Trucks and cars, late at night, have a flow. Buses stop, the speaker garbles all too loudly, air brakes hiss, and the slow elephantine weight of the vehicle is dragged into motion by a guttural engine rumble.
In my country there are many many vacancies in tech and pharmaceuticals to name but two well paying sectors–the education system doesn't produce enough people with these skills and people aren't migrating here quick enough. This is not a counter-argument to your assertion that decently paying work is thin on the ground, I'm just pointing out that industry claims simultaneously that there's a skills shortage.

I'm still not understanding something. Are you saying that there is something about corporate work for you that makes you run up debt? Or are you saying that now that you are "dirt poor" to use your words you have figured out how to pay down debt. Is that because of lifestyle choices? Is this to say that if you went back into the corporate (assuming you decided you wanted to and that you could) that you would start to run up debt again? Help! I'm confused!

> This us the least worst thing I can arrange and it isn't sufficient.

Are you bitter or resentful? I'm getting a sense that you are. I have no idea what circumstances have brought you to where you are now. For me, I am trying to both (a) look positively at life by being grateful for what I have and remembering that the world is a big place and (b) made a pledge to myself that I will think deeply about structural economic inequality.

Individually we are helpless, working together we could move the dial. We have to figure out which levers to pull though so our effort is not a complete waste of time. I think part of it must involve the very well off having both a slight sense of shame and embarrassment and there being permanent social structures put in place that prevent wealth from accruing to a select few but that are also resistant to capture. The first nation to figure that out, wow, I'd like to live there.

Yes there is a way of knowing what is the correct price and it is the one that maximises your NPV. The fact that many times companies charge too little does not change the fact that there is an optimal price. It is not found by just increasing your prices. You need to treat pricing like the hard problem it is.

I tend to think the mantra of charging more has gotten a little too popular and I suspect that many companies are now charging too much.

The big customers like Airbnb and Uber very much care how much it costs to send emails. The most price sensitive customers are the largest and they will try to screw you down on price much harder than smaller customers. When you are sending a billion emails the price per email is much more important than if you are sending a hundred.

Taking your example, there is no reason to think that charging less would result in more spammers using your service provided that you maintained equivalent quality controls. Spammers are probably the least price sensitive mass email customers as they are professionals who are most concerned about deliverability and ROI.

I have been on 3 - 4 "large" projects. My definition of large = $100+M budget with 400+ ppl working.

3 of the 4 projects failed altogether and were cancelled after about a year for blowing both budget and timeline.

The large project that did not "fail" was deemed too strategic and the business simply decided to invest more and keep going until done. Once management came to terms with the 3+ year timeline, things got a lot more sane.

Relying on Twitch streaming for income is a hard life. Anyone who doesn't realize this is delusional.

You're talking 10-12 hours _every day_ entertaining people. Successful streamers work 6-7 day weeks at those hours and if they're lucky take 2 weeks off a year -- one of those spent at TwitchCon. Most of them are playing the same game for long stretches of time (months to years). That's really hard!

And if you regularly have ~3k viewers, you'll probably earn $2k-4k a month between ad money and donations. Except for outliers, obviously. The overwhelming majority of streamers are not successful, by the way, or are only successful for a year or two.

It's absolutely a labor of love. You do it because you can't stand doing the alternative.

What I see happening is a slow but steady demographic shift based on politics. I know my own recent move from Virginia to Arkansas was largely because of this, and statistics from the past few elections have been showing a decrease in the number of "swing" counties.

Communities are becoming more politically homogenous. I wonder if this happened prior to the US Civil War, and if there were even enough data collected to accurately measure it.

> a high tax that's slightly lower than the tax on a competing good does not result in a below-market price.

Erm ... what do you consider "the market price"?

I suppose it's not the price that people actually pay for something in the market, as then even the state paying for all your diesel needs would still not qualify as a subsidy (if the state pays for it, you don't pay anything, that would make the market price zero under that definition, so the free diesel would not be under market price, therefore not a subsidy, right?)?

But what is the market price, if it's not what people pay?
