I wouldn't expect her meter to be responsible for dimming lights when the neighbor increases the load though. There didn't seem to be any problems related to loads generated within her home, which I would expect to be a problem when the meter's the culprit.

It just seemed to me like they had something inadequate in common between the homes, maybe a deteriorated transformer or bad connection. They don't seem motivated to do anything until the power is completely off, monopolies aren't known to prioritize customer service.
> Is it really so shocking to live that close to a gardener? What is outlandish about that?

I think it's not that people refuse to live next to a gardener, it's that the job of gardener does not allow for an income that someone could afford to live close by given the housing market. It might not be 50 miles, but there are areas of affluence where it would take awhile for a low-income person to reach. There are also areas of affluence right next to considerably run-down (but famous) areas, such as Hollywood. Then again, I'm not sure how much housing there is in the run-down portions.

I had the Tesla guys out the day after xmas doing the survey for the roof! Looking forward to power off the grid (PGE has 15 outages this year).

It is true. The prize used to be a car, now it is government bonds.

It is fully automatic. You just tell the cashier your tax id number, and you are set. No need to keep the receipt.
That's a very apt quote. The way I look at things like this is: Do recording studios go to the same lengths? After all, if the effect is real, and the studio didn't do something to mitigate it, then it's going to be on the track regardless of what you do in playback at home. Much more so, even, because of the gain stages involved when recording a microphone signal.

(Spoiler alert: Recording studios do not install their own power poles. What they do, though, is install isolated ground circuits.)
A leader's job is find experts and delegate. Not knowing isn't an excuse, finding people that do know IS their job.
You assume the issue is binary: cars or no cars. Nobody is asking for no cars. We want less cars.

Right now, cars are first class citizens in every American city. Motorists get what they want, and walkers, cyclists, and transport users get what's left over.

It doesn't have to be that way. European cities get by fine without cars in city centers.

Do you really need a car to get to work in midtown Manhattan? Why are the 2 subway systems with stops every 5th block, 3 rail systems, and 2 bus systems that serve it not good enough? Do you really need 6 car lanes on 6th Ave while cyclists fear for their lives in the traffic and pedestrians smoosh on the sidewalks?

>Economists would prefer the price to be price, being economists.

I mean, of course. If you pay for something with money, then someone else gets the money. If you pay for something with time, then that time is just gone.

>One thing this article leaves out is what the value of all this transport is. Maybe more roads don't solve congestion but they do produce more "goods," more Kms travelled. Presumably this has value.

A lot of the "value" winds up in making far-flung homes part of the housing market for people working at centers of employment. Suburbanization, basically.
Of course not - affordable homes are great. Building more homes near the places people need to be will help make them more affordable. But nobody ever got votes by campaigning to reduce home prices. Perhaps because you have to live in a place to vote for those governing said place.

By requiring to give concrete examples you two gave me good reason to rethink my point.

> 1) non-standard shortcuts, i.e. not implementing CUA;

When I was writing my post I had in back of my head this well known feeling of frustration when struggling to do simplest thing I have to read vim help for 10 minutes or google random forums. It may be that most of it is due to intermittent use of both those editors and "muscle memory" from MS Office and alike. If new users are required to stop using their most common (good or bad) habits it reduce potential user base at least 100 times. I work in typical large office (everyone 95% of time do some kind of text editing) and nobody know what or use vim or Emacs. Maybe it would be better idea to "stupefy" those great editors for default install for new users and allow current users to easily revert "normal" settings. CUA mode in Emacs looks interesting, I will give it a try.

Really? Very rude??? I'm wondering why reaction to my comment was so harsh... It seems that Emacs users have really soft skin ;-)

>Let’s use whatever we’re productive with. I have no idea how containers work and don’t care to find out until I feel the need. Somebody might feel that way about React or webpack and that’s totally healthy too.

I really dont mind this opinion as a hobbyist but as a professional its lazy and arrogant. I get the tech fatiguee of learning the 5th MVC or frontend framework. But that what differentiates you from a good and great professional.

Also learning new styles and tools gives you a robust view of how software is created. Its just a good practice that a profession engineer,one that cares about being productive will not shun.

Dont be lazy or enjoy being stuck in "your way".

I think this keeps people from being hired not because of the actually lack of skill breadth but because of the attitude behind it.
Right, you can't just shut down an area to cars and call it a day, if the overall area is still designed around cars.

To really make it work, the area has to be accessible to walking (and public transport). Which usually means higher population densities than most US cities -- even major cities -- have, and better public transit.
One of the things I truly will never understand about "Audiophiles" is their willingness to spend money on products that are, from a technical basis, indisputably categorized as snake oil. For instance:

https://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-feet-Braided-Cable...

It's an HDMI cable! The video signal has CRC in it and is packetized, it's either going to make it or it isn't. The quality of video delivered at, for instance, 2160p 60fps 10bit color to an expensive 80" 4K TV is going to be literally indistinguishable from the same video delivered by a $16 Amazon house brand HDMI cable.

Or this, it's a $340 cable for 1000BaseT Ethernet:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/07/gallery-we-tear-apar...

People actually make the claim that their FLAC "sounds warmer" when transferred through this. How, exactly?

That's not enough? How about the $10,0000 1000BaseT Ethernet cable? https://arstechnica.com/staff/2015/02/to-the-audiophile-this...

I can sort of understand methodology and expensive equipment modifications to separate AC power from amplifiers, and shield AC power lines and such, keep AC power runs away from speaker wires, etc. That has at least some basis in technological reality.
Is it that they don't get stressed, or that they are great at hiding it to project an air of confidence at all times. And how would you tell the difference?
Some of the most fun I've had in games were in the situations where killing was optional. And I wish more games were designed around that concept.

The original Splinter Cell comes to mind. You were supposed to be a stealthy spy, so killing was often counter-productive to your goal. But if you were really careful, you could go beyond that and opt to not commit violence at all, by thinking of the best way to sneak past, trick, and divert your enemies.

Putting aside the morality of it all, from a challenge/fun perspective, games make it all too easy to kill, but so much more difficult to avoid it. But some of the most satisfying experiences can come from thinking about the perfect strategies to not kill your enemies.

It is curious though, why so many games require killing/violence to be fun, when there is arguably a lot of untapped fun and new strategies to be had without those mechanics.
You’ll always be at a disadvantage if you’re trying to play competitive constructed without a budget. But that’s not what most MTG gameplay is. I agree constructed staples are priced too highly, but most gameplay is friendly matches, and drafting, where the game tends to be more about fun than either skill or money. You’re also forgetting one element of skill that isn’t always restricted by money, brewing. A budget swans deck has won a tournament.

I searched and saw some Qt bindings as well, but didn't check if they're complete. I've decided to just do 100% rust so I use conrod instead of bindings. But the cases where I've tried the GObject stuff it did indeed seem pretty well done, at least in the Gstreamer case. I'd expect that over time even this gets fixed and Qt bindings become first class as well.

> I think currently the only viable solution is to write a core in C++, expose C functions and write the UI in C++, Swift, etc.

This is the worst case and is not that bad. It does force you to write in two languages but on the other hand it enforces a cleaner UI vs backend split and that's not a bad habit to have.

1) That's an absurd straw man.

3) I'm pleased you mention Southern California as it's a useful case study of how to turn a pleasant area in to a dystopian hellscape. I've lived in Westwood (near UCLA), Santa Monica, and most recently San Diego (South Park - a fairly upscale neighborhood).

I routinely attended meetings of the planning group for South Park, where the attendees, all of whom were homeowners aside from me (and elderly), opposed ANY new housing of ANY sort ANYWHERE. They were blunt about their reasoning - it might hurt their home values. Of course, keeping homes expensive is a great way to ensure your groundskeeper can't live near work.

They also hated bike lanes, because they thought it would affect parking. It's rather sickening they cared more about places for cars to sleep than for people to sleep.

https://www.sandiego.gov/planning/community/profiles/greater... if you care to go yourself. The area's taxpayers will even give you free parking welfare.

Thankfully I escaped SoCal (and the US), but not everyone (including, perhaps, your gardener) is able to do that.
Well of course not. That's exactly why the person you are responding to talked about zoning. Without NIMBYs, you could upzone and solve most housing cost issues.

How it is a fantasy when many cities around the world already do this to varying extents? Did the definition of the word 'fantasy' change while I wasn't looking?

I'm just saying, the non-partisan choice would be to treat Trump or any Republican the same as any Democrat, based on their actions and not their affiliation.

I don't see how living in the suburbs makes you super-wealthy. In most American cities that I know of, the very poor live in the city, the middle class lives in the suburbs, and the very rich live in top-floor penthouses and wherever else they want. Roads, cars and long commutes are very much a middle-class thing, because the poor can't afford all the driving and the rich can buy a great house in the middle of the city where it would be the most expensive.
so in summary:

1. get something started

2. surround yourself with a good community

3. pace yourself

4. be realistic

You only bring a proposal to a planning session if it's close enough to existing zoning that the variance might be considered reasonable.

Dramatic upzoning is only brought to the table when the NIMBYs are seen as weak enough that it might stand a chance.

Be aware that there are caveats in this approach. First, a /24 or larger range is compulsory for multi-provider BGP, which is, itself, compulsory for dynamic advertisement in the way you want. Second, broker ranges are only suitable for your use case if they are allocations rather than reassignments. Third, even when a broker has reassignable ranges, they need to then use detailed reassignment rather than simple reassignment for your new block. Otherwise, you will be unable to announce prefixes to providers requiring proof of ownership. Please refer to https://www.arin.net/resources/request/reassignments.html for detailed information on the SWIP process.

In every recent case I've seen (over the last six years), no broker has had ranges larger than /24 for reassignment. Of course, you can do with just a /24, but the justification process has also grown somewhat more stringent, as a pure traffic engineering justification ("We need BGP; here is why.") is no longer enough, in my experience.
That's probably a metaphor for reality.

That's putting it gently.

Great question, one that I'll flip on you as well. Why would we trust private companies to make a healthcare decision that might sacrifice profit for my health? Anticipating your answer that the marketplace solves that issue, but that doesn't exactly help the people that were adversely affected before the marketplace stepped in to solve the problem.

Answering your question, I put more trust in my government than private corporations because government ostensibly works for me, and citizens get to influence the makeup of our government. (Note, I'm not American, if I lived under the US democracy I might feel differently).

It's not the lender's responsibility to concern itself with the consequences of the lending for the borrower.

Roads are bad for more reasons than maintenance though. People don't like to live near them. They are an UNPLEASANT part of the journey, not a destination. That means whoever gets stuck with the road going through their community sees their local businesses suffer and their housing prices drop.

Saying "We need roads because public transit does not work" is just false. There are MANY examples of cities where they all get around just fine without having to slather down some more pavement. I was very impressed by the Park and Ride system in Strasbourg, France and Amsterdam, Netherlands. Or hey, my current home Portland, Oregon! Or my previous home Chicago, Illinois also has excellent public transit! ( Though Chicago has been going through a rough patch lately due to bad zoning laws around the Blue Line EL stops )
