I think sustainable ammonia production would be a good fit.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_production

> Ammonia production depends on plentiful supplies of energy, predominantly natural gas. Due to ammonia's critical role in intensive agriculture and other processes, sustainable production is desirable. This is possible by using renewable energy to generate hydrogen by electrolysis of water. This would be straightforward in a hydrogen economy by diverting some hydrogen production from fuel to feedstock use. For example, in 2002, Iceland produced 2,000 tons of hydrogen gas by electrolysis, using excess electricity production from its hydroelectric plants, primarily for the production of ammonia for fertilizer.

One big problem with this is that people vote their incentives. If you're a homeowner in San Francisco, are you really going to vote to halve the price of your home and immediately put your mortgage underwater?

People voting themselves higher house prices through using local zoning laws to create housing shortages is a national crisis. We need something pretty dramatic, like congress using the interstate commerce clause to ensure the free movement of labor via banning states and local municipalities from enacting their own zoning. Or a national land-value tax.

> To say that paper doesn't have these problems shows a lack of understanding or a willful intent to mislead.

Of course using paper doesn't magically solve away your problems. The point is that paper-based systems without these problems do exist in the world and they've been successfully used for decades. You just have to copy the successful ones.

Or, put another way, if your government is too incompetent to run paper-based ballots, using electronic system won't make them suddenly competent either.

> There are weaknesses with transport or tampering the same as any mechanical recording or electronic recording.

The really really really nice thing about paper is that the required size of the attack gets proportionally large as stakes get higher. If you try really hard, you can probably sneak a few votes and change one of the twenty town council members, but does anyone care? On the other hand, to hack a presidential election you will have to exchange at least a thousand boxes or so. With a thousand co-conspirators. While everyone is watching.

...And if you're worried about organized gangs replacing a thousand ballot boxes on your election day, you have more problems than voting systems.

What I like about SEM and graphical model formulation is that it makes the model explicit and easy to communicate. It compactly encodes many hypotheses that you can test on your data.

> Instant, ultra-low cost inner-bank transfers.

I assume you mean inter-bank. Many US banks do instant transfer between accounts in the same bank, even if different account holders. On the inter-bank front, there’s Zelle that many US banks support that’s instant and free, but it has stupidly low limits. On the kinda instant front (aka under 15min), wiretransfers exist but they are a poor UX universally and have a steep fee generally (my bank does it for free, but I have to have a high end account for that).

My understanding is that with Lyft, the driver does not see the destination until they've reached (or come close to) your location.

And yes, I'm using the app correctly -- not sure why you're jumping to some conclusion that I must be being duplicitous. There's no convenient "nearby" drop-off points near airports here anyway.
Compared to what? Taking one three-credit course at Bunker Hill Community College is $558, taking four three-credit courses is $2,232 ($3,925 with health insurance) [0]. At City College of San Francisco (one I picked for to have a west coast option) is $138 for one typical course and $552 for four (that's just tuition but other fees are extremely low).

If you're taking courses at a private college part-time, sure their tuition is a lot higher; taking just one course like Fundamentals of Instructional Technology from RIT Online is $3,243 [2]. Four-year public universities will probably cost somewhere in-between but it varies a lot by state.

> Care that explain why it’s substantially more than a few round robin’d smart reverse proxies moving data to the correct storage node?

That is exactly what it is. Plus making sure the network is provisioned with enough bandwidth to handle the extra copies, or even just the extra overhead. That's where Backblaze saves money, not purchasing "a few" servers, and only provisioning the network to handle the smaller amount of bandwidth required if you make a connection DIRECTLY from the client to the final storage Vault the data will stay on forever.

Companies that have a networking, power, and computer hardware and spinning drive bill less than 2% of their total yearly company revenue often have PLENTY of ways of solving these problems for a "small amount of money". Backblaze is quickly approaching an Exabyte of customer data on more than 100,000 spinning disks. We have to purchase millions of dollars worth of hardware a month now. If Backblaze can solve a problem that shaves a few percentages of cost off then it can save quite a bit. Backblaze can then pass that savings through to customers.

Do you have any evidence of that - the discrimination part?

The various Chinatown community banks wouldn't even exist (and have greatly succeeded for awhile) if some form of cultural barrier didn't exist. The barrier isn't all the fault of one side or another. However, it's simply historical fact that big banks left a lot of money on the table -- in a way which could be characterized with gross demographics -- which smaller banks made their bread and butter for a few decades.

Is there evidence that lending institutions choose to lend based on criteria other than ability to repay?

Of course community banks choose to lend based on criteria other than ability to repay. Basically, community banks must use their advantage in local intelligence to distinguish between prospects who look a bit marginal but who are really strong, versus prospects who might look a bit marginal to normal but who constitute a risk. Basically, the big banks swoop up almost all of the "normal" customers and leave the smaller banks scrambling for the best of the odd ones left over.

Your second paragraph is really interesting, and creating an expensive barrier to entry is always a tactic big business implements to stifle competition. I just wonder what the way out of that is?

An informed electorate.
A few months? weeks? (I've lost track of time) ago we all saw how much data Facebook was able to collect on Android, and how much from iOS. Calls, SMS for example, cannot be collected on iOS.
You'd need to allocate more parking spaces then. You can have more roads if you have less parking.

Also, having a car sit idle 95% of the time is not an efficient use of money. It's the same model as virtualization with servers (sharing unused capacity brings down the costs for everyone).

Also, there's the tremendous amount of time wasted and hassle to park, especially in big cities that have multi-story parking garages. Especially with their "compact" parking spots that even compact cars have trouble fitting into.
You assume that they care. Think of the bigger picture. This is not about usability, developer experience, standards or any of that useless shit. This is about control, which in the long run turns into money.

Only pointing out that "simple" is something in the eye of the beholder. If you know how something works, it is often simple.

Fast Docker Builds for Rails and Webpack
Happens all. the. time.

I'm in NYC, and I use taxis 99% of the time because of this phenomenon: Uber/Lyft drivers rapidly accept your ride, then cancel (or slow-play the pickup, so that you cancel, to protect their driver rating) as soon as they see it's a place they don't want to go.

It's so bad here that I just won't deal with Lyft and Uber unless they're throwing serious discounts my way, and I have time to burn.
To me AMP pages feel like a sort of "preview" for a site. What the linked article describes is actually very accurate about feeling trapped inside Google. I just can't figure out how to get google out of the way and view the site directly.

It's actually to the point that I have stopped using non-browser google search on my phone. In fact I didn't really notice it was AMP just that results from "Ok Google" were annoying as hell after upgrading to Google Assistant. Reading this article was an "oooooooohhhh that's what's going on" reveal to me.

I don't even know where he's getting this "Info" thing. To me it just looks like some sort of chrome window that doesn't let me edit the url. Even when I do "Open in..." to send the link from I guess it's called Amp browser (...that somehow looks like Chrome?) to my browser it leaves me trapped in AMP with weird urls. It's extremely confusing.

I just want to escape to the actual website in an actual browser and for whatever reason I end up having to try and re-find the site in the mobile browser. Maybe there's some obvious way to do this but it's just driving me bonkers.

I just searched "news" in Google on mobile and 2 links were non-AMP in my carousel... (ctvnews.ca and thestar.com) but they were heavily optimized in an AMP-like way.
I honestly have no idea how to get from an AMP page to the regular version of the page, and it's endlessly frustrating. I dislike AMP but understand and somewhat appreciate what it does (despite disagreeing with its core premise), but the fact that there's no way that I can discern to go from, for example, the AMP version of a reddit thread link to the real, actual page, makes the whole thing extremely frustrating.

Money leaving the community wasnt really a problem. Space is at a premium here and the mayors asked the companies to register their bikes/scooters and have some sort of plan of dealing with them being left all over the place. The companies response was to ignore that entirely and just drop their equipment in the city overnight and announce they were in town.

They ignore the law when given the least bit of inconvenience , so why would anyone respect their property rights is the thinking that's going on.

The counting facility counts the ballots twice, with both counts having to agree.
The counts are communicated to a central tallying location.
