I think I can see how buying up single family homes, and not living in them can artifically increase housing prices.

But I dont see why we should disincentivize people from buying multi-family homes and renting them out. Being a landlord is not free, and its not a charity. Landlords need an incentive to provide services like maintaining the property, renovating and dealing with the headaches of owning property. If property did not offer any financial return, less people would buy multi family homes or they would put as little effort into maintaining the property.
I tried to type in the snippet embedded in that page with Firefox Android. The cursor is about where I touched the screen but characters appear at the end of the line. The two locations move in sync when I use the arrow keys on my mobile keyboard.

That doesn't happen with the Etherpad editor. The demo at http://etherpad.org/ works well.
My own anecdotal evidences:

1. Waking up early is a great thing.
2. Waking up early allows you to be less stressed during the day.
3. It also projects a halo of confidence around you since people receive your stuff first thing when they arrive at work.
4. But the first thing when you wake up should not be work. You can read the press, listen to the radio, catch up with the day....
5. At some point - after 30/45m, you'll think it's time to get to work. It's an exhilarating feeling.
6. Best time that works for me is 5:30am/6am.
7. Taking the time to do some sport after 8am or 9am is even better.
It's collisions that trigger a runaway Kessler syndrome. Collisions have happened before and they are a serious concern. Just ask the inhabitants of the space station, for example. Probability dictates that sooner or later, something or someone will run into you. I don't think Starlink is doing all that they can to safeguard their satellites, especially considering that managers were fired for not prioritizing quality over speed.
I can't imagine a male (a real male) not voting because of that. Sounds like those comments were in jest.

But not evenly. There are certain orbits that most satellites try to stay in.

>The economy is very much built by Homo economicus. The consumers are just assume customer to be Homo economicus.

This confuses the map with the territory.

The economy is built by actual people, with dreams, desires, etc, whose behavior is usually far beyond what the "Homo economics" would dictate.

Homo economicus is just a crude model.

>The cost of that externality will never get priced in fully, because it’s in the interest of people to pretend it’s someone else’s problem (especially when they’re people’s jobs and food on the line.)

Well, it will be fun to see them suddenly rebalance their "interests" when they are plagued to death, and it's their life and the life of their children on the line.

> The only real solution companies like SpaceX has when disposing of a satellite when it's outlived its usefulness is to let them get pulled into the atmosphere and burn up on re-entry, but when it comes to managing 12,000 of them at once (and 4,000 in higher orbits, where they're less likely to get pulled down naturally), how many will slip through the cracks?

This is the only real solution anyone has. It’s just not feasible to do anything else other than park the satellite in a graveyard orbit or deorbit it.
There are quite some Lian Li cases which don't have a plethora of LEDs. Mine has, I believe two: one for power, one for HDD. Neither of these are connected. The front panel lid can be closed. You end up with a case which has dust filters and can fit many HDDs. Not that it has many HDDs (it has one SSD and one HDD); I have a NAS instead.
As someone unable to fathom the enthusiasm for geometric algebra... at least this defines this product: It's the sum of an inner product and a wedge product. Acting on two vectors these give a scalar and a 2-form. Why is adding these different objects a good idea? Don't they have different units (like, a pure number vs meters squared)?
Large parts of my second book [1] were written between the hours of 4am and 8am, my wakefulness necessitated by my daughter’s medical issues. Things are more stable at home now, but on my third book [2] I often feel the urge. I’m naturally a morning person, and combined with the benefits of writing uninterrupted, it’s hard to resist, even if it means getting out of bed. If I didn’t, I’d only be composing in my head anyway.

We can't even stop killing each other because of greed and other stupid reasons, we can't even stop global warming, who's going to stop biodiversity loss and how? It's in the nature of mankind to create but also destroy. Every era of civilization was build on the ashes of the former, and the next will not be different, a lot of people will have to die of violent death for humanity to evolve and come to its senses. we are at the beginning of a climate refugee crisis of proportions never seen before,coming from Southern countries, do people really think it will go smoothly?
> the surface area of a sphere at LEO is substantially larger than the surface area of the earth. I don't know the exact numbers, but I know it's a huge difference.

The surface area of the sphere is not much bigger, LEO starts a few hundred km up compared to the Earth's radius of thousands of km. Maybe 1.5x the surface area. But it expands in 3 dimensions: if the interesting part of LEO is 500km thick and a satellite takes up 10m of it from bottom to top, that's 50,000 concentric Earth-surfaces.
Proof of Stake or Proof of Work, What's the Difference?
That sounds ridiculous.

I also don't live in the US, but in my country we are encouraged to not vote or "vote blank" if we don't agree with any of the parties. It's a way of expressing your displeasure with all of the parties up for election.
If the shards are in the atmosphere, they'll fall to the ground immediately. Even the IIS at over 300km altitude needs a boost every now and then to maintain altitude due to the drag of the rarefied atmosphere that high up. Very few satellites are put in orbits below 300km because they'd only stay up for a few years or less.

Well, one example would be threatening people either directly or through violent public messaging. These are antisocial behaviors. Of the 10,000 words any human reads on any day, removing unnecessary negativity is an absolute virtue. This is the same reason we have spam filters. Would you consider Google to be censoring your email inbox? Wanting to force every human to see every other human's toxic dialogue is an invocation of Hanlon's Razor.

Not an American issue by the way, if your country happens to vote this is happening in your elections too.

Then consider that orbital height expands the "surface area" of this satellite spread by an enormous amount....the surface area of a sphere at LEO is substantially larger than the surface area of the earth. I don't know the exact numbers, but I know it's a huge difference.

Surface area grows with the radius squared. Starlink are meant to be at (a max of) 1200km above the surface. Earth radius is 6371.

((6371 + 1200) / 6371)^2 = 1.41

There is 41% more surface area at their orbit than at sea level.
The entire premise of the article is daft and ignorant of basic orbital mechanics. The Starlink satellites will communicate with each other directly via laser. They can only do that by knowing very precisely where they and the other satellite are, so the whole constellation will have to be continuously tracked at high precision just to function at all.
My only hope is that they would ship things from within Europe, so we could avoid the hefty (20+%) customs...

> That’s why my point on our economy being levered. It’s not in anyone’s rational interest to halt growth. Every % of global gdp growth is millions of people out of poverty.

That is a short-term view. Look how growth will stall and turn into decline if we continue on our present path.

> Which is why the question. Are people really incentivized to bell the cat - to actually price in externalities ?

Probably not by themselves, because most people put their own self-interest first, and our economic systems stimulate them that this is the best way.

It needs the concerted effort of many to apply sufficient pressure to take the long-term view and affect real change.

And I guess this is particularly hard, as our current (broken?) systems also promote wealth inequality, and the rich and powerful - those who can help the most - are less inclined to do so, because they'll be among the last to really suffer the consequences of inaction.
Hm, yea I dont think employers agree that you take another fulltime job outside work, they might allow side-projects or a bit of consulting... but nothing 8hrs long of commitment

> Deflation is generally agreed to be a bad thing by economists. I disagree falling housing costs would be good as then no-one would want to buy and quality would fall.

Is it a bad thing when the prices of mobile phones and large screen TVs fall? Does those falling prices mean no one wants to buy them? Do they imply falling quality?
You would surprised by how easy people are "influenced"... Just heard some conspiracy theories from people I though were "sane" and I can tell you that people believe anything you tell them if that aligns somehow with their belief system.
Well, but they can use the internet. It's just that people who don't want to hear them (which is most people) won't hear them using the internet, and that is okay and not a restriction of free speech. They can communicate freely with people who care about their viewpoints over the internet, with people who want to communicate with them, but not on the platforms whose subscribers don't want to communicate with such people.

The right to free speech doesn't include the right to force your speech on people who don't want to listen to you.

Isn't that (the fact this guy shot 11 Jews dead and the other users haven't) exactly what "otherwise typical" refers to?

This is wonderful news !!

- By sending dollars to Kenya it's helping reduce inflation for the Kenyan govt. The biggest problem for many developing countries is finding a way to get their hands on the global reserve currency.

- Its allowing private wealth to be created (by women !!), empowering women have very positive cascading effects in a country (fertility rate drops, women have personal freedom to do other things ). Private wealth directly in the pocket of Kenyans is one the most efficient ways the developed world can help the developing world.

Normally giving cash to the govt results in looting of public coffers.

- Teaching useful computer skills to the average kenyan.
Maybe then it was because of the isolation that the audio cables got being away from all the chaos created by the random power cables. I don't know. Most of the time, it was a huge improvement. The next step was to fix/remove anything that caused distortions.
It's not really much different from a physical experiment, where the expectation is that you'll have to rebuild the experimental apparatus yourself to reproduce the experiment.

An independent implementation of the experiment is neccessary for a full reproduction anyways. If you just run their code again, you'll end up with all their bugs again.

(But, don't get me wrong. I like when researchers release their code. It's still very useful.)
You can build one with spinning 2.5 drives that are costlier than the 3.5 ones. So it's not about not needing spinning drives - for lots of redundant storage 3.5" drives are still the most economical choice.
People who are going to directly benefit from them. That is the difference between this (which is plausible) and unilaterally restricting your economy, which is going to definitely hurt you now but possibly (only if rest of the world does their part) benefit others later.

Part of the reason why we're doing so little to fight climate change is the misalignment of incentives because at least in the mid-term the groups who would have to pay for this fight don't overlap that much with the groups who'll suffer the first major consequences.

For the long term (100+ years?), there's tragedy of commons scenario - we want everyone else to restrict their economy, because doing it unilaterally won't help, so unless we can agree on binding restrictions for most countries, it's not going to happen; but in the mid-term it's not even a common environment, as the majority of expected harm is expected at places who don't have a meaningful impact on the global economy.
I'm wondering if flagging those accounts would be more effective. Make the problem obvious instead of sweeping 'em under the run. Might help average users to be more discerning.

If your API is relatively straightforward (as in 1 service that just connects to a database), then you won't profit from GraphQL as much. I see the biggest value of GraphQL when it's put as an intermediate layer between the clients and multiple services in the backend.

Note: clients - plural, usually different clients need different data and doing it in REST would result in over fetching (fetching the data you don't need)
For me, writing prose (mostly short stories, journals, memoirs) is more emotionally taxing. To write well I need to find ways to silence the self-censorship that will inevitably prevent me from expressing the things I really want to say. This often happens when I am in a state approaching mania. Donald Glover says he writes in the morning because it is "closer to dreaming".

Coding is primarily a task about cognition, so focus/concentration wins. I find I code best in the late morning, when I'm well rested and have had a good breakfast.
So the press reaction was as expected.
Wall Street Journal was all over the strikers, with sexist and "snowflake" comments, demands the protestors be fired. Even comparing them to the coal miners. Remember the great coal-miner strikes? The company running the mines had the idea that they are above the law, that state law doesn't apply to their workers, that the company creates and observes their own laws on their ground with their own workers. The miners demanded that the state law be obeyed. Very similar to todays arbitration clauses, the very first point in the google workers demand. Or todays social media censorship, violating most countries constitutions.

Just think about it for a few moments, it's easy to come up with some ideas that would work on some people some of the time:

Democrats certain to win "we don't really need any more votes"

Polling both lines expected to reach record '4 hour' lengths!

"No hope" for democrats come polling day

DEA planning "surprise" drug-test sting at polling booths

ICE planning "polling-day round-up!"

Georgia electoral system "hopelessly rigged" — why your vote won't even be counted

Now imagine that you were getting paid to work full-time at reducing turnout on social media and that it was something you believed-in — it wouldn't be hard to have some decent effect at the margins.
In the USA, there are serious proposals for adding "none of the above" to each contest. Some even suggest if "none of the above" wins, there's a do-over with all new candidates.

Years ago, we had a local race for judge where both candidates were revealed to be despicable (during their campaign). A do-over would have been great.

> The problem that these new communication platforms are trying to deal with is unprecedented.

The early internet had to deal with the same problems, yet it was much more free than the internet of today. This isn't a false idealization of the past - I was around at the time.

To me the only reason the internet matters is to let individual people speak and be heard - without being silenced by advertisers, the government, or the mob. If we let these entities institute censorship for the common good, we might as well have TV.
Sorry I meant richness of the local ecosystem. Big mammals in particular.
What's the use-case for an editor embedded in a webpage? It doesn't seem to be able to live-edit the webpage code - so I guess I don't really get it..

It'd be nice is someone made a general text editor that was also embeddedable and could also live edit itself (or the program it's running in). The closest I've seen is Nightlight

< The idea is to cast a large net so that maybe, just maybe, a small number of Democratic males would abstain.

I sincerely doubt that's the point.

It's a false flag.

It strengthens the Republicans vote.

It encourages Republicans to fight back strongly against the nonsense and weakens possible Democratic support.

A system of economy based on continuous growth and limited resources is simply not viable. That is nothing new, the Club of Rome presented their findings already in 1970s.

Their conclusion was a rapid and uncontrollable decline in population and industrial capacity, and the signs of that would be apparent by 2072.

Given that the "business as usual" scenario has persisted, we are on track to that sudden crash "overshoot" scenario. In addition, now there is the looming climate catastrophy as well. Countries and regions have to become more resilient to all kinds of impacts from climate change, as it does not look like we can avoid or prevent it.

In addition, another economic system than one expecting continuous growth is required.

Therefore the question of "who pays for the reduction in growth" is a rather non-starter, as the reduction in growth is inevitable.

Edit: crash not at 2072, signs visible at 2072.
