If you want to get from a car based city to one with mass transit (most us cities). The only way to get the city dense enough is to remove parking requirements, and that only works if people can get by without a car. If the public option isn't good enough, then ride sharing can be a bridge until the public option is good enough.

In LA the biggest difficulty facing new dense/affordable construction is the number car spaces required per apartment.

> The general thesis still holds: man is not truly content without conflict

This isn't accurate as it applies to the Culture: The vast majority of the Culture does not engage in conflict. It also goes undepicted for the most part; the functioning of that society is hand-waved as a product of the Minds. But, it is also depicted as neither a hedonistic free for all, or a bland, blissful meditation on coexistence.

> because if a commenter reveals that the title is misleading

This is rarely the case.

Usually (as is the case here). The commenter uses the title title as a statement and criticizes it directly, not it's relation to the article.

It seems to me that people read the title, and come here to comment the title before reading the article.
Rust decides at compile time how long the data stored in a closure must live. You can create situations where that's hard to define, and the compiler, properly, won't permit that. It's very clever.

(Rust tends to use closures heavily, in places other languages don't. So they need all the performance they can get.)
The "build more roads, people fill them with more cars" is just a symptom of a huge problem that's existed for so long that people can't see it anymore- that there's orders of magnitude more demand for intra-city transport than there is supply. The problem isn't a law of nature; keep giving people more ways to get from A to B and eventually you'll reach the point where you have more routes than people to travel them.

...But, in a car-based society, this won't happen until your entire city is a single level surface of pavement. There is no way to get the required efficiency out of a system where one person usually takes up a full 6'-by-10' lot of street space, and where speed is limited by the inherent dangers of having multi-ton masses of steel and aluminum passing within feet of pedestrians. Self driving cars might up throughput by a factor of two; I'd estimate we need about a factor of a hundred before we can call the problem solved.
You are free to interpret my comment as an isolated opinion and disregard it as a baseless assertion, but you'd be repeating the age old mistake of disregarding user opinions when evaluating user interfaces. Personally I believe that paying attention to user grievences, particularly when they are very recurrent and objective, is the smart thing to do and the fastest path to develop adequate products. If you feel you're better served by ignoring recurrent and needless mistakes and insist on repeating them then be my guest.

I guess my thing is more of a reaction against paternalism and the infantilization of the public. I do think there need to be much more in the way of bank regulations. I don't think the public ought to absolve itself of all responsibility because of the absence of some regulations. I just don't think it's healthy or necessarily leads to better decisions being made in the future. I want an informed public, not a deluded one.
Except it has happened. It used to be that, for 100% of computer-using people , switching from entertainment (games) to something creative in the computer (making games ) was a download away. Nowadays a miniscule amount of people uses a computer in "work mode" (i.e. not a laptop).

Top 3 Best Private Search Engine Alternatives – Remote Proxy
Don't these ride sharing services in urban centers just cause more people to travel by car? It seems obvious that this would increase congestion.

The only thing it seems likely to reduce is the amount of parking spaces and idle vehicles in storage, less vehicle ownership.

But now everyone, even those without cars or even driver's licenses, are just a smartphone app away from having a car shuttle them around for even the most trivial of distances. When you make something more convenient and accessible, it gets utilized more.

A funny thing about the prospect of self-driving cars: what about the people who used to be in the driver's seats? I suppose some percentage of those will instead be passengers in the future - oops, even more cars on the road!
While you may not care very much about it, the airlines know they can use "wider seats" to appeal to the growing number of larger individuals [1] around the world. That phrase alone might be enough to get those individuals' travel dollars (or rupees) over their competitors. You can bet Boeing and Airbus are stressing this in their presentations to the airlines.

Can Self-Employment Close the Wage Gap?Powerful Insights into Self-Employment
Oh, no. I don't suggest depressing engineering salaries. Companies that want to hire engineers should definitely offer more. Engineers should ask for more and move to companies that will give it to them. Efficient allocation and all that.

But I think it's important to recognized that the limitation is not just capital. I think we should absolutely be trying to improve productivity as well. You're right that simply pressuring engineers is useless at best. But that doesn't mean that productivity improvements are impossible.

Concorde had several major issues that Boom might not face [1]:

- Boom. Boom supposedly targeted a 10x noise reduction for its sonic boom compared to Concorde, but whether or not it can convince the FAA remains to be seen.
- Lack of bodies that could reliably fill seats at the ticket prices. Boom is targeting current business class ticket prices, and the plane is half as big as the Concorde; 55 seats is around the size of a current premium class cabin.
- The wrong ocean. Flights across the Atlantic are not that long; six hours is a reasonable night's sleep from NY-London. On the other hand, the Pacific is massive; even Seattle-Tokyo is 12 hours. When Concorde was built, Asia wasn't rich and they could only convince Air France and BA to buy them; today JAL is investing in Boom, and there are probably people willing to pay a premium to halve 12+ hour flight times from the West Coast to Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, etc.

I agree with you on the accessibility angle, from the perspective of users with reading disabilities, color blindness, etc. I am not sure if that was the angle you were aiming for.

As for the accessibility of the ideas, they are presented clearly. Where jargon can't be avoided, it is presented by the role it plays, and a simple explanation of what it is not (see the digital signature panels) that presents an idea, gives the user enough information that they can start forming a question and addresses an incredibly common misconception.

As for being in a minority, I don't know. What I do know is that as a person who has to deal with dyslexia on a daily basis in a largely text based position as a remote security engineer, I found this content to be very approachable, and it got positive feedback from several folks I shared it with this morning, including an early childhood educator and a retired teacher, so YMMV.

As far as not being the target audience, frankly, I am squarely in the target audience as I am always looking for new and effective ways to teach people this stuff because as an infosec weenie a big chunk of my job is helping people avoiding the pitfalls of technology by helping others understand how to build secure or maintain basic opsec. This comic is not effective for me, since I am technical enough to need better resources, but it is super great for a project manager who might need to ramp up knowledge about why HTTPS or TLS is important without needed to know how to configure or implement it.
As Zeebrommer mentioned, I'd steer clear of this thinking. Carol Dweck's entire research has been on "fixed" and "growth" mindsets, and their impact on people's performance. Instructors that believe someone is or is not an "X person" have a negative impact on students. That is, if I believe in the idea that there are STEM-illiterate and STEM-literature people, why should I both helping someone who is STEM-illiterate?

Instead, adopting a growth mindset, that while one may not know something now, with time and effort they can gain understanding is much more powerful. As I've argued in other threads, this may include doing things that are frustrating or otherwise "not fun" to establish grit/perseverance.

Think of it this way, when you were a baby, you were "spoon"-illiterate. If you parents decided you're just "not a spoon person", you would be raised not knowing how to use a tool everyone else thinks is easy. If you grew up never using a spoon, and it became a requirement for future career advancement - you might become frustrated because you were taught you "were not a spoon person" instead of "I need to learn how to spoon!"

Orwell was obsessively critical of Authoritarian Socialism - namely big [S] State Socialism as represented by the Soviet Union.

I don't think George Orwell would necessarily be cotton to variations of Authoritarian Socialism implemented in very large corporations.

That is in stark contrast with Goldman's Democratic Anarcho-Socialism which shares little relation - philosophically or sentimentally - with the State Socialism that Orwell was writing about.

I have friends who claim to be "anarcho-" something, who at the same time espouse state socialist politics. Their action in aggregate is often authoritarian, and I don't see how any anarchic politics can prevent the oppressive rule of a majority. As such mechanisms play out in my private life, it seems that anarchy results in less diversity of thought and virulent oppression of minority viewpoints.

EDIT: My corollary -- Oppressive tribalism is just a later stage development of anarchy.

> If transportation network consumers wish to use those services, they should be able to. And cities should tax those rides to offset additional congestion and improve public transportation. Everyone wins.

Would the revenue generated from those taxes result in successful public transit reform to address the issues that are pushing the public away? Not arguing that it doesn't, I'm genuinely curious because I don't know enough about the problem to say that insufficient funding is the root of the issue for most cities' transit systems. I'd agree that it's a net win if the additional funding would enable meaningful progress, but nobody wins if money isn't the root of the problem and that money is squandered or spent elsewhere.

This is a reasonable argument, but I sincerely doubt that people who worry about the "revolving door", are worried about regulations being too harsh.

Usually, people make the opposite argurment. That laws won't be harsh enough. And the evidence proved that wrong.

> Its not a higher level of http

Of course it's not higher level of HTTP, I never said that. I said higher level than HTTP. HTTP is just a stateless transport protocol, of course dat is higher level, and as I said much of the benefits described can be built on top of HTTP (and have been, just not standardized or not widespread).

> it all scales poorly, it can all be improved with distribution

Pretty sure it all does NOT scale poorly, as has been proven over the past thirty years. What's being solved here is not a problem of scale. "It can all be improved with distribution" is very hand wavy and doesn't really say anything. DNS and many other protocols are already distributed, btw.

> Instead we encrypt the key and distribute it across the net, ..., if its distributed and a copy goes down you just use it like normal.

There are two kinds of crypto, symmetric key and public key. Symmetric key is easily out of the window. For public key crypto, you always need a secret key and that has to be prior knowledge, not something negotiated on the fly, and of course prior knowledge has to be kept somewhere and presumably synced if you need it elsewhere, and it definitely can be lost. "Distributed secret keys solving everything" sounds like nonsense to me; there's always a secret key that is the starting point (call it the master key, if that makes more sense) and can't be distributed.
Do you think that these Ubers-but-with-buses would be cheap enough that the homeless could ride them?

Thank you! It hasn't been a linear journey - I have lots to say on creating a culture that joins multiple disciplines (where neither is dominant). I suspect companies like Compass (the real estate brokerage) and One Medical face similar issues.

One of the primary gaps we need to bridge at Atrium is simply educating different disciplines on what everyone else does. EPD (eng, product, design) and operations teams need to learn what it is like being a lawyer; lawyers and paralegals need to learn what product can help with (and what it can't). We've slowly added more and more cross functional education around these things (onboarding, shadowing, etc) -- and probably have a ways to go.

I'd say it's a middle ground between tech culture and legal. Certain things that are ok culturally in tech (for example, moving fast and worrying about IT security later in the game) are not ok for a venture like Atrium. At the same time, we are trying to innovate in an industry that doesn't get a lot of innovation, so we do want to re-think things from first principles as often as we can (in fact, it is one of our company values).

Happy to explain more if people are interested.
