I'd advise against this. We did that in Madison, and before we even got very far doing this, Mother Nature started to hint to us that it might not be a good idea.

Maybe there are places where you can just build Willy-Nilly. (I doubt it, but what do I know?) I suspect, however, most places are like Madison, just not quite as delicate. You probably have to be REALLY careful about what you're building.

And even more careful about where you're building it.

Investigations Spotlight: Jail Time for Review Fraud
For a long time there was a roughly equal balance in the US between the amount of money paid out as wages and the profits that go to capital. Recently that balance has gotten skewed with 60% going to capital. But basically all of that skew is due to rising rents and housing prices.
It sounds like your two options are that people should 1) do trades: some unpleasant, strenuous work in physically dangerous conditions, for about 10 years hustling day and night before your body gives out for $50K/year? 2) have the government pay for degrees that some committee deems valuable?

That seems completely wrong to me. And this is based on the implicit assumption that prospective students don't know how to use the internet, make informed decisions, get advice from parents or other grown ups. It sounds like you're saying that college students are completely gullible and are getting degrees for bad reasons and you know better than them, for their own future. And that immigrant parents who encourage their kids to go to college are also uninformed. Come on.

It's useful to have some background on where the existing regulations came from when thinking about these things. There is quite a pile of inconclusive research on the medical effects of microwave exposure, and as such none of it could be used for a scientific approach to regulation. At the end of the day, a limit needs to be selected.

Instead, IIUC, what happened was the regulators took existing finding on the "work stoppage limit" for mice/rats (in watts/kg, this is where bad things start happening like significant temperature rise and no longer moving), made it 10x lower for occupational exposure, and then made it 5x lower again for the general public. In the face of uncertainty regarding non-thermal effects, the current regulations adopted an "innocent until proven guilty" style approach because any nonthermal effects had not (and to my knowledge, have not) been demonstrated consistently.

It seems reasonable to me that certain people would prefer a precautionary approach.

Developing APIs Using Actor Model in ASP.NET Core
I'm not actually poor and I don't make my bed.

My house is cluttered, mostly because I'm frugal and we live in a house that is a bit too small for our hobbies (art for me, music for the spouse, though we both dabble in the other). I have more money this way.

I'm lazy.

And honeslty, the only time I've really gotten crap for this type of thing is when I'm poor and honestly too freaking tired to do any of this stuff. THere is nothing quite like working for 8 hours, using feet for transportation, and not being able to actually feed yourself well enough to have energy nor keep your house warm enough in the winter to do much. (I kept multiple blankets on). It is really easy to just give up. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without some help and getting really freaking lucky.

Many schools do not have a great library. That have a library adequate to the school needs. Being able to use said library at school is sometimes difficult. By the time I was in high school, the library was a rare treat in class. They weren't open after school. You could not go there during lunch. My senior year, the school I went to changed and sometimes you could go there during home room period. Before that, not really: It was only 15 minutes most times anyway.

Not everyone has a public library to use either, and even when you do, good luck. You might need transportation.

I will also assume you are talking about older children. Most 13-year olds just don't have a lot of maturity for what you describe. Perhaps a 16 or 17 year old, and hopefully they aren't so poor that they have to work to help support their family or take care of their younger siblings while their parents work.

All in all, it really kind of seems out of touch and looking from the outside in instead of the other way around.

My solution has always been to treat such keys and secrets as financial instruments, and therefore prone to use only through direct processing - i.e. build/deploy environments have to have explicit requirements of allowing the finance guy to come in and type the codes needed to distribute to mass, general public .. but this has to be a managed expectation of dev tooling in general ..
Most people dont even realize the real problems every poor family experiencing. I mean some people don't even have heat on a winter day. You can't even read a book on these circumstances, your body is under panic and you can't focus.

Countless smokers stopped using cigarettes because of vaping. Vaping is not about eliminating risk but risk reduction. Long-term effect research is lacking by simple lack of long-term data due to how new the market is, but the overwhelming majority of data there is for now points towards it being a far safer alternative to smoking cigarettes.

Want to ban vaping? Ban goddamned cigarettes too, then, if you want to be anywhere close to consistent.

I have already had the opportunity to work with MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle and, more recently, Postgres (on AWS RDS). I see no reason to choose a commercial RDBMS or MySQL nowadays, specially when you take into account the improvements AWS Aurora or Citus are doing on top of it. Postgres is so robust and feature complete (80/20) that is my first option for relational database (and sometimes for key/value as well).
Hell yeah they can. At will work states and all.

The other states just have to find a reason to can them so i imagine its "somewhat" more difficult.

That's very feasible actually. If someone think YouTube is indispensable, China proved it wrong.
That's quite the comparison, considering one of those is practically impossible to do and would have a lot of negative consequences in other areas.

Whereas the other is doable (as evidenced by the existence of vegans) AND has a lot of other positive consequences (environmental, moral).

Most definitions of veganism include something like "reduce suffering as far as possible and practicable". It's not absolute.

Of course, another objection to your comparison is that it suggests if we cannot remove ALL bad things, we ought not to do anything.
Risk reduction vs. risk elimination. Swapping from one to another means reducing risk by a huge margin, according to the huge majority of (short to mid-term) data we have for now.
Cities are legally an extension of the states, so states could take control over the process, but you're right, as far as I know municipalities (cities, counties, townships) have almost total control over zoning standards (at least here in Michigan).

> It's an elementary fact of anthropology that human societies for most of history have lived on a communal basis without property.

Interesting. I've assumed that primitive communities were run from the top down with the alpha male effectively owning everything.

I found this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_communism

But it states:

> There is also no agreement among later scholars, including Marxists, on the historical extent, or longevity, of primitive communism.
I don't think it's that, it's more this:

Since higher protein intakes seem to have no negative effects in healthy people, one may want to err toward the higher amounts.

I haven't seen anything over 3.3g/kg recommended anywhere, and most people seem to recommend 1.4-2g/kg as a good baseline amount. The ISSN recommends this (see here: http://stevenlow.org/issn-position-statements-protein-and-ex...), however the ISSN does recommend higher amounts when losing weight:

Higher protein intakes (2.3–3.1 g/kg/d) may be needed to maximize the retention of lean body mass in resistance-trained subjects during hypocaloric periods.

Of course, none of this is required to get fit - you don't need to do the optimal thing to get a basic result. But you'll definitely gain lean mass faster if you do follow this. Those recommendations for weight gain (say 2g/kg with a caloric surplus) is easy to achieve with no supplementation and normal food, at least for an omnivore - vegans may have to work harder to get there.
>To argue that all parties everywhere should be forced subsidize the enforcement and policing of that contract is outrageous, economically unsound, and violates liberty.

And if the contract is violated and the violator taken to court and the court rules against them and they refuse to pay restitution? Without the potential of government violence brought to bear, there is no point in contracts in the first place (except in the general sense of an agreement that includes 'go against me and I won't associate with you again'). But, however, if there is no government violence to be rendered applicable in any case, that does open the opportunity for the violated to employ violence directly. However, it also puts each individual in charge of insuring themselves against appropriation of their own property by means of said violence. So, at a minimum, such a position wants to establish the collective garnishment of funding for 'police services' to protect such rights, yet this is fundamentally in favor of those who have a greater quantity of property to protect, as the owners of such will (as history shows) that they should be required to reimburse no more than any other member of the collective, and if they do, then they are entitled to greater service, leading, again, to the same asymmetrical form of society, where all are equal, but some are more equal than others.

my family escaped china when the communists took over and paid for the transport with gold because the currency was destroyed. My mother had gold bars sewn into her clothes. Jews escaped germany the same way. Finally, Governments keep gold as a storehouse of wealth.

It is a way to take portable wealth when currency is crashing. For example, Venezuela is crashing right now and gold is good for purchasing goods.

My family had large amounts of prime land in beijing that the chinese government confiscated that is worth hundreds of millions today. Good luck getting that land out of china when you have to flee.

Actually it solves lots of those problems too, more affordable housing would make it possible for teachers, waiters, bus drivers, waiters, grocery cashiers to live affordably in the city.

Uber/Lyft and now scooters have already 10x improved transit in SF. Living without a car and even without buses is totally possible now. The cost of Lyft 10 times a week compares favorably with a car, and scooters/bikes are much cheaper. See http://www.rideordrive.org/

Improving caltrain, muni and bart would be awesome, but there's plenty of transit to handle much more housing.

So "moar housing!"

This is wrong on more levels than it seems from the first glance:

1) I've witnessed creeping internet censorship starting just like this: first it's something as innocuous as "let's protect creators" or "let's protect children from harmful content", then 6 years later you can't criticize the government. They've just created a legal framework for massive automated censorship, and also Overton window was moved. I expect this to happen as soon as this law is backed up with the technical means.

2) People in power are uncomfortable with the current state of the internet, that is a true p2p platform for communication. Can't have that! We just got moved one step closer towards their vision of the Internet, that is nothing more than TV + storefront.
