Whether you personally own a car or not is only one variable, and perhaps not even the dominant variable, in the equation of the personal or household utility of public roads.

Everyone pays for the roads, and whether you have a car or not, you benefit tremendously from having them.

Whether it is trucks stocking shelves at your local stores and grocer, vans delivering your Amazon packages, Lyfts bringing you to a customer meeting, or even indirectly, cars bringing people you’ll never meet—and hence economic activity—into your city, or into your high rise.

Not having a car is a personal luxury enabled by the massive infrastructure that is built around you. That infrastructure is made possible by roads. Arguably people who don’t have cars are the ones who aren’t paying their fair share.
> Their goal is clearly to avoid having people moving to Linux as a development platform, and keep them on Windows.

I think it's the opposite. There's little danger that Windows shops are going to move to Linux. However, I know a bunch of devs currently using Macs that would probably switch to Windows with nice devices like the Surface Pro and access to real gaming and such, if only Windows was a suitable Unix environment for their work.

They want devs using Macs and such to move to Windows, and I think it's going to work.
I got my 3a today and it is an amazing upgrade from the 5x. Everything is buttery smooth (the 5x does not come close) and the camera is definitely at least an order of magnitude better.

Yeah I'm also a little confused about the license. The website state it's MIT for personal use but not MIT for commercial. Given the MIT license for personal, couldn't I just fork it under MIT and re-license my fork for commercial under MIT as well? (I'm a license noob)

Wow, we had quite similar upbringings. My dad was the co-president of the county's Gifted & Talented Association, and like you I was always in the best classes and magnet programs (even if that required busing), and when I had bad teachers, my dad got me swapped into the best teacher's class within a week. I even had a similar issue with a teacher, but fortunately that was later in high school and I was able to handle it by myself. This teacher, in fact: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tasneemnashrulla/a-reno...

And yeah, having someone in your corner who knows how to navigate the school system and get the best for you is super important. I wouldn't be where I am today without his guidance, plus all the extra-curricular science and math activities/competitions he took me to on weekends or for summer camps.
No such "original meaning" for alt-right exists, and I'll drive straight back to the wellspring if you make me. I study this stuff. The alt-right movement has, since its very inception, been the nexus of misogynistic and white-supremacist fearmongering with recruitment channels pulling from the chans, from games, and from the MRA community.

That is literally all it is and these attempts at revisionism are poor attempts at that.

Let's take a step back for a second...
whether one agrees or not, it is obvious and not fairly deniable that this type of reproduction was illegal in most countries until just a few decades ago. Many major religions condemn the practice. (Until relatively recently, ALL branches of Christianity condemned it.)

It would be worth mentioning the underlying reasons for these views in such an article.

Allow me to be blunt (at the risk of getting downvoted): Does jerking off and selling your cum to strange women raise ethical issues? I think the question answers itself.
These are the Globalists we were warned about, by the way.
Your assumption doesn't account for the fact that the most common devices are Samsung Galaxy phones which aren't the cheapest on the market. While pricing certainly has an impact on some markets, in others it's more about prestige and surpringly iPhones have lost a lot of their prestige as they aren't far and away better phones than Android phones. They're still good phones and the Apple watch is hands down the best smartwatch on the market. My evidence is based on sales figures year after year. Currently devices like the Xiaomi Redmi and Samsung Galaxy lines are tops. When Apple tried a cheaper line it didn't sell as well as their higher end line. I'd argue that Android dominance isn't currently because of control either, it's because of ecosystem. It's easier to find an Android phone that meets your needs than an iPhone. That because there's only a few iPhones and hundreds of Android devices.
A market with more homes per housing seeker is more likely to contain one for you.

As long as that ratio is less than one, some people are excluded. Price is what that looks like in a market. Under central planning it’s typically lotteries and waiting lists.

Supply/demand balance in the region is much more important than the characteristics of any particular unit, and that’s what pro-growth activism is targeting.

As far as I'm aware you'd have to load that 80mb into memory for each docker container you run so that can add up if you want to run a bunch of containers on a cheap host with 1GB of RAM.

I do agree that people prematurely optimise and mainly incorrectly consider disk space but I think there's a decent use case for tiny images.
Alternatively, as was the case at my private high school, the small, closed community creates a high level of trust and allows truly awful behavior to be papered over and worked around, because that can line up with the incentives of the community.
I'm sure it's fast... But something that makes you look to the side and down to even see what it's doing (and uses touchscreen) not only isn't a good car, people who designed it should not be allowed to put crap on public roads in the first place.
Hell, the thing doesn't even have cooled seats you get it a Hyundai or something.

I always thought a good way to go would be to build a standard set of "debugged" contracts, that can be filled out "mad libs" style. The terms of service on almost every app could be 90% built from a short list of common components, mosttypical employment contracts are pretty much identical.

When one of those contracts hits the court, almost all the technical details have been thoroughly discussed, leaving loads of precedent to stand on. The consumers know there's no surprises in it, and the businesses know they're going to have a quick and predictable time if there's a dispute. Eventually, people would start to look at you very suspiciously if you didn't want to use a standard contract-- what scam are you trying to work on?

The concept of "let's let anyone write arbitrary contracts and sort it out later" feels strangely 19th-century-quaint today. It relies on nicities of a different era: The two parties probably had reasonably equal access to legal support and knowledge, the negotiations were being done in good faith rather than as a land grab for maximum indemnity/payout, there was a full opportunity to negotiate instead of take-it-or-leave-it clickthroughs.

I could own 5 extra cars, for less than the cost of a single tiny 1bed apartment.

Not every place in the US is ridiculously expensive. The median price of a home is $200K (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/29/what-the-median-home-price-o...) and anyone with barely passable credit can get an FHA loan with 3.5% down. Most lenders are going to be wary about you having more than two car notes.

I could own 3 extra cars, for less than the cost of daycare for one child.

The average cost of child care is between $5000 - $15000 a year (https://www.epi.org/child-care-costs-in-the-united-states/)

I could own 3.5 extra cars, for less than the cost of health insurance. Cars are pretty cheap, all things considered.

The average cost of family medical insurance is a little over $14K (https://www.ehealthinsurance.com/resources/affordable-care-a...)
Looks like I bothered some fanboys, the Earth still rotates around the Sun. I don't have time for people that refuse to accept the truth, and the fact is that "duplex" is not even a shadow of what they promised last year, doesn't matter to anyone but for fanboys because the assistant usage is exactly as you expect: Siri the most used, then Samsung's Bixby then Google's... in a market where Android dominates, it's shameful for Google to lose so clearly at their core competence, so they push so hard for their image as a "cut above the rest" that some people actually believe it.

This is in the US, where Apple only manages a 36% smartphone market share, and google assistant is available on the iPhone, but Siri isn't on non-Apple devices

They are moving to Europe / Germany, prices are sky rocketing here.

Right now, the discussion we have is : socialize private buildings and make them state owned ( I kid you not!)
No talk about new buildings, or law changes etc..
It makes you wonder how much of this is school, per se, and how much of it is just growing up. Home-schooled kids removed from that environment, for example, tend to have worse outcomes, partly because even while school can be stressful, not socializing routinely with same-aged peers is worse.

But from "Sargon's" perspective, UKIP isn't fascist - it's the party attempting to remove the UK from the growing, minimally accountable supreme bureaucracy known as the EU.

It's always better to understand your enemies before you start to insult them. Otherwise your insults just increase polarization, because while people who agree with you will find them obviously true... People on the other side will find them objectively false. And we don't need more polarization nowadays.

> inherent beliefs of racial superiority

IMO painting all belief in racial differences as racist/fascist (which is what this tends to devolve into) is a great way to ignore actual problems. Problems like medicines being tested on populations of primarily white men and women not always working for african americans or other groups... And of course this is an area where one side is politically correct (no differences below the skin) and another is factually correct (different ethnic groups have significant differences in susceptibility to disease, athletic performance, etc).
You think UKIP is fascist? Wikipedia defines that with the phrase "...dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition...". Many powerful politically inclined groups are forcibly silencing their opponents these days, but UKIP is not among them.
I don't understand, though — there are so many cases in which free software dominates because it's better, despite proprietary alternatives from companies with deep pockets.

Most servers run Linux and Apache or nginx. The most popular CMS is WordPress. MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, and MongoDB are the most popular databases.

On macOS, the most common shell is bash, and most of the commands are free. According to the 2019 Stack Overflow developer survey, two of the three most popular development environments are the open-source Visual Studio Code and Notepad++. The most popular web browser was Firefox for a while, but even Chrome is based on a ton of open-source technologies.

Most people aren't picking these tools because they have some principled stance on free software, they're picking them because they're just plain better.
I consider myself to be roughly in the category of "hacker" in the context of that sentence. I don't have confidence in The Google controlling everything any more than I do with MS.

I used to be an MS developer many years ago. I will say one positive thing -- MS makes a lot of very useful development tools.

However, I'm amazed that people think it's not MS anymore. They have not gained my confidence in any way in terms of this supposed altruism or whatever.

Linux in some ways has been one of very few possible Windows competitors on the desktop. The fact they they essentially decided to just swallow Linux into Windows does not make me think they are more friendly to Linux.

They will set it up so that it will _seem_ like your are developing for Linux, but due to some extensions or technicality it will only work on _Linux inside of Windows_.

So from my perspective it is amazing that people think this is a good thing for Linux.
I found the picture of Paul Reckzeh toward the end of the article haunting. Just an old man peering out of the window, 50 years after his crimes.

On another note, I’m a big fan of Bonhoeffer. I was surprised while reading his biography to see just how few German critics spoke out or tried to organize against Hitler. At the same time, it seems the Allies weren’t listening to or cultivating anti-nazi Germans.
I remember Uber offering $1000-$2000/mo to drivers in India back in 2016-17. Many left their other jobs, bought cars, took a loan.

Then, bait and switch, those same drivers struggle to earn $500-$1000. They can't leave their jobs because of their loans. They sleep in the cabs, shit in public toilets, eat in the roadside stalls, and go home about once a week.

I get reminded of all this every time I take a cab.

I realise I'm ready to pay a bit more for my convenience so that someone doesn't literally suffer despite working all day.
That doesn’t include car insurance (which is high for a teenager), maintenance and repairs.
If you actually bothered to watch more than one of his videos you'd easily be able to surmise he is politically left of center. He's probably more of a classic liberal than a modern one, but he wants things such as single payer health care, progressive taxes, etc. Those are definitely left of center ideas.
Very interesting work. I’m wondering if you’ve ever worked with vector tiles? Mostly it’s used for drawing large numbers of vectors on maps, but has a similar architecture and approach for 2D drawing on the GPU via an efficient command-based language based on the extent of the tile.

> Decriminalization would be the state declaring that possessing Psilocybin is not illegal under state law

No, that'd be outright legalization.

"Decriminalization" would be instructing law enforcement to not ever enforce a law - stronger than deprioritizing, but weaker than legalizing.

It could also include not explicitly criminalizing or legalizing something (that is: Denver could simply not mention psychedelic mushrooms at all), but in this case there's already a higher-level jurisdiction (i.e. the United States) that does explicitly criminalize it, so a lack of specificity would in this case just mean criminalization.
They'll just demand the ads be put in the headlines.
Maybe we can at least make sure that the next generation of children get it, or at least the kids that we are close to. This is on my mind because I have five nieces and one nephew, all of whom are less than five years old. I gave three of them Amazon tablets the Christmas before last, and have come to regret it. I will do what I can to make sure that their next computers will be general-purpose as we developers understand it.

It may be worthwhile to reflect on my own early experience with computers. In 1988, when I was almost 8, my family's first computer was an Apple IIGS. As I explained in my personal retrospective on that machine a few years ago [1], that machine had kind of a split personality, because it combined compatibility with the earlier 8-bit Apple II models with a more or less Mac-like, native 16-bit environment. The legacy 8-bit environment included BASIC in ROM, whereas the native 16-bit environment could only be programmed with a dedicated development environment that wasn't included with the computer. Of course, even many 8-bit Apple II programs were written in assembly language and were locked down to varying degrees (e.g. copy protection, no easy way to break into the BASIC interpreter). But at least that BASIC interpreter was available in the 8-bit environment. So the 16-bit environment represented another step in the direction of separating users from developers.

I remember one experience that, I think, helped spark my interest in programming. One day when I was about 8, my uncle Eric was over at our house, and he brought with him a disk full of 8-bit Apple II games. One of those games was written in BASIC and somehow involved shapes crudely rendered in text mode (I don't remember anything else about the game). He had modified those shapes to bear the names of his kids. That was interesting all by itself. But then, if I remember correctly, he went in and modified the game to show the names of my siblings and me instead. These days, we call this live coding. And with most off-the-shelf software now, it's impossible. If we can fix this for free software, I think more people will be enthusiastic about it. Of course, the specific example I recounted here is pretty trivial, but the lesson is clear: we need to make it practical for people to modify the software they use every day, on the fly, with low friction. Then, the freedom to modify software will matter to more people.

Earlier on in its history, the English Wikipedia (at least the cultural/administrative side of it) was a lot like this. The average age has increased over time as people have aged up, but when I was most involved around 2004 it was a pretty young crowd. I was in college at the time, and there were plenty of other college students involved and even some high schoolers.

I'm partial to Eric Elliott's take[1] which highlights the brittle rigidity of _classical_ inheritance in particular (vs eg prototypal inheritance). "OO" is often conflated with class-based inheritance per se.

This made it unusable on mobile. It's not possible to preview an effect without tapping, which means the code obscures the preview.
I see a bunch of comments here saying basically that "today's luxury properties are tomorrow's affordable properties". I don't know where this myth originated but it's exactly that, a myth.

Look at Manhattan's most expensive buildings in terms of price per square foot (which can be north of $5000!). Some, like 15 Central Park West and One57 and some others on 57th Street, are new but many are not. Famously there's the San Remo building (which is ~100 years old), Walker Tower in Chelsea and a number of other buildings on Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue that are a century old, give or take, and not remotely affordable.

There are factors why these buildings will basically never be "affordable", namely:

- They may have ceilings in the order of 14-18'

- They may have floors and ceilings that are 1' thick or more;

- Land prices are extremely high.

So even though some of these apartments might be "only" 2000 square feet, they occupy the space of an apartment that might be as much as 2-4x as large due to the way the building is built. A stone's throw from Walker Tower you'll find postwars that sell for under $1500/sq ft, for example.

I'm actually a big fan of cities not becoming ghost towns of empty condos and houses that are nothing more than a place to park capital for the ultra-wealthy. Australia, for example, forbids foreign purchases of anything other than new builds.

Developers build ultra-luxury condos because it's way more profitable. Part of the reason is the demand but another part is the cost structure is wrong and New York City and state bear some of the blame for this eg [1]. That's just insurance. Construction itself has become unaffordable. Many capital projects exist in the US today that would simply be cost-prohibitive to build or replace now.

I'm all for an extreme measure here: the world's large urban centers should start taxing homeowners on worldwide income. No double taxation. There are already mechanisms for this. You want to own property in NYC or Vancouver or San Francisco? Great. You're now a resident taxpayer. You can always seize the property if they won't pay.

One thing about Vancouver in particular, and this probably applies to Canada in general: WTF is up with a median wage of C$50k? How is it the US can afford to pay US$350k+ for a SWE in NYC or SF that might earn less than C$100k in Vancouver? How did that happen?

In the developed world there basically hasn't been an increase in real wages since 1980 while the ultra-wealthy get richer and richer. With no wars or revolutions in sight to redistribute that wealth (which, historically, has been what's happened when wealth inequality gets too out of whack), something needs to be done to address that.

Teletherapy outcomes have yet to be thoroughly researched, but anecdotally most clinicians report a strong preference for face-to-face sessions. Part of the discomfort stems from legal concerns – how do you handle a patient who reports intense suicidal ideation with a plan being one of the big ones – but also the limitations of teleconferencing. Neither the typical therapist nor their patient is like to have access to a fancy $$$ teleconferencing setup; both are likely stuck using whatever $0.50 on the BOM selfie camera Apple chose for their latest iDevice. Seeing only the face, and a 720p at that, denies the clinician a lot of valuable information about the client's internal state, their physiological responses, and their body language. Not to mention connection issues. Imagine being someone who's kept a secret about their sexuality or childhood abuse and finally developed enough trust and worked up the courage to discuss it to your therapist only to be met with a "Connection lost…" or frozen image of their face.

Additionally, licensure for mental health professionals is handled on a state-by-state basis, making CoL arbitrage difficult.

What's a "garlic word"? I briefly tried looking it up. I can infer what you mean, I'm just curious if that was already an expression, drawn from somewhere else.
