Well the difference is that people used to condemn the author when it got caught lying which doesn't seem to be the case anymore. People no longer pay politically when they lie. It all transformed into a world-wide propaganda machine where people think in war/dictatorship terms(we against them).
> The "mono" part of "monopoly" disagrees with you.

You are using a rhetorical definition, not an economics one.

> its just as much rent as any positive effect on real wages. What does that matter?

Economic efficiency is almost synonymous with reducing rents

> They have tens of millions of people to buy from.

Shocks to the supply curve change equilibrium points in markets. There's elasticity of demand/supply.

> There is of course a third alternative, which is to impose duties on imports of goods in addition to restricting the importation of labor, which would substantially raise wages for low and medium skilled workers in this country.

Economic literature has been arguing the exact opposite for literally centuries.

> That depends on who is coming and going, and why they are doing so.

This is almost a Malthusian model or labor and resources and it will give you dangerous and obviously wrong ideas, like the solution to economic prosperity is marginalizing and kicking people out.

> Why not mention the lesser alternative to banning, which is to impose duties? Of course outright banning things for which our existing chain of production is insufficient would cause massive problems.

A 100% duty is a ban. A 50% duty is half a ban. You are objecting to the crudeness of a ban. I am objecting on the value of any restriction whatsoever by any criteria or method. Look for any chart of economic liberty and see where countries stand in free trade and economic prosperity. This is not a topic of debate, it's absolutely settled. Im trying not to be callous about that, but really its not something that should be debated, akin to refuting gravity and there is more than enough documentation in the open wild to read about.

> You keep talking about the economy prospering, by which I assume you mean GDP going up fast. My goal is for the people to prosper, not the economy

Just a metric like any other, the goal is definitely people's desired prosperity.

- In every country it always is and must be the interest of the great body of the people to buy whatever they want of those who sell it cheapest. The proposition is so very manifest that it seems ridiculous to take any pains to prove it; nor could it ever have been called in question had not the interested sophistry of merchants and manufacturers confounded the common sense of mankind. Their interest is, in this respect, directly opposite to that of the great body of the people.
> It is exclusionary by nature; economic segregation is often the intent, and in most cases the impact.

This seems awfully reductionist. I think often the intent is more along the lines of- "We want to live in a place where kids can walk to their friends house without an adult escort and/or play kickball in the street. We've observed that this becomes unsafe in places with high density populations, so lets prevent high density housing to maintain that lifestyle"

There are lots of poor neighborhoods that are single family housing (the entire south side of Chicago comes to mind). The issues greatly impacting San Francisco should not be generalized like this- most places do not have them.
The S-expressions look much cleaner to me: parentheses and characters, with a few quotes where needed. Meanwhile, the JSON is a mess of curly brackets, square brackets, commas, quotes &c. All the field names are strings, not symbols or tokens. To my eyes, JSON is an embarrassingly ugly format, while S-expressions are clean & readable.
How is the desirability of homes in single family neighbourhoods inconsistent with the fact that they tend towards creating haves and have-nots in the market for housing?
If they're indeed so greatly desirable then there wouldn't be this weird fixation with banning literally every other form of housing (something which has caused the homelessness crisis, as well as making rent pathologically high).

> Unfortunately, rent control will have the opposite effect of what Oregon thinks, and only make housing scarcity worse.

I always found it odd that rent control always seems to be an all-or-nothing policy: either things are tamped down on, or it's a laissez faire system.

Does any locality have a "hybrid" approached. Something like:

* buildings 0-5 years old, allow up to 3x inflation rent increases

* buildings 5-10 years old, allow up to 2x inflation

* 10+ years old, allow only at inflation

This would (in theory?) encourage the construction of new rental units by allowing investors to recoup their costs sooner and counter the risk of any unforeseen expenses. But as the buildings get older, and costs (theoretically) become more predictable, stabilize prices for renters.

Testing, and lots of it. How else? You can also expand the problem to general flags, not just WIP feature ones, and you have to deal with sellable/licensable flags, permission flags, version flags...

Big software is going to run into complexity sooner or later. You don't need superhuman skill to manage it but no single person will be able to hold the whole thing in their head.

An interesting approach to handling the combinatorial explosion of flags, if you desire to test all possible interactions (even though you don't typically need to) is instead limit yourself to the subset of all pairs of interactions (all-pairs testing).
No his government is one of the most extreme right-wing ones around. I don't think he'll come around.
I think this is one of the costs of democracy. We could always just take power away from all the uneducated who rely on emotion-based decision making. And then somehow punish the educated who do the same despite being equipped with the tools to parse the facts.

I'm sure this would work out horribly.
I didn't, all the preceding events (external forces exerted upon me) made it so.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with single family neighborhoods

Do they not, by their very nature, enforce low-density housing? Is that not a bad thing to enforce in places with too few dwellings?

> I don't believe that prefix-operator functions in Lisp-compatible syntax are the appropriate way to construct and transmit data from APIs.

Why not? I'm honestly curious, because I cannot comprehend preferring that mess of JSON to the s-expressions. The JSON just looks like a dog's breakfast, while the s-expressions look clean & easy to write, read, parse and use.

Also, I don't think they are functions: they're just lists with a convention. Those lists can be used to expression function calls, as in Lisp, but in a data format I think that the lists more often express structure.

One thing I love about s-expressions is that one indicates the type as the first item in the list, e.g.:

(foo …)

whereas with JSON one has to invent pseudo-properties:

{
"@type": "foo"
}

(yikes, that verbosity is ugly)
Vim Has Persistent Undo
Sure, nothing wrong at all except for:

-sedentary car-dependent lifestyle

-inefficent use of arable land

-carbon intense lifestyle contributing to the collapse of ecosystems

-materialistic lifestyle enforced

-impossible to serve economically with public transit making car ownership mandatory

-energy inefficient buildings

-encourages racial and economic segregation

-anti-social lifestyle decreases face to face contact and increases barrier to connect with others

If I could vote to make these neighborhoods illegal, I would.

> I wonder how hard it would be to launch small payload to the moon without being noticed.

Hard. The US (and probably other militaries) has a whole bunch of satellites monitoring the planet for ballistic missile launches, and so would detect any rocket launches.

After that, the US also a bunch of stuff monitoring space junk, and so any payload would be picked up on radar. It would not take many observations to calculate your payload's orbit, and if that orbit suddenly changed it would probably be noticed.

Now, if you suddenly change your payload's orbit to start a trajectory to the moon there would be nothing anyone could do about it, but it would at least be detected.
You're interpreting my definition of what makes the mind different than your own. I consider the mind to be free if independent from what encompasses it. Meaning the ability to choose how life plays out. That's not truly fitting of free will either because even then a person will desire whatever the first experiences force them into desiring. Everything is predetermined. Cause & effect.
This is their modus operandi. Deny everything that doesn’t fit their world view or makes them look bad. Not even hard data or science is safe.

> We've observed that [leaving children unattended] becomes unsafe in places with high density populations.

Is that factually accurate, or just a false impression that people get?

Let's assume it is objectively more unsafe. Is the problem the high density or is it some other aspect that causes issues?

Most kids in East European countries, the vast majority of which grow up in high density neighborhoods, are left unattended to play in the streets, yet they are not abducted, get hit by cars etc. (Source: I grew up in Romania.)
What needs to happen for Long Term Earth?

1) The economics of every process must take into account the cost of the environment. If it's not going to biodegrade, that costs. If it comes from an unsustainable logging practice, that costs. If came in a boat from across the world, that costs. Adding the cost of environmental consequences to all stages of production opens up the room for investors to sensibly bet on less damaging production methods. We will look back at this time and rub our eyes when we realise what an insane free-for-all it has been.

2) A global body needs to be created to handle environmental policy, probably balancing quality of life with environmental outcomes. This body should be elected, but independent from politicians. Just like monetary policy was been removed from the easily bendable hands of politicians, the environment needs to be too. This deals with i) the short term thinking required of politicians [elections] ii) the global nature of the problem.

I’m not a lawyer. But as @mtmail points out, they’re legally obliged to defend it even if they don’t give a hoot about your particular site. So if you ignore it, they may have no choice but to pursue legal action - as in a lawsuit. That could get expensive for you.
Do you have any evidence of that?
So, this is indeed a very cool idea, the fundamental issue you'd have though is that you can't abstract away from the 'ground truth' formatting at the source control level.

You could even sort of brute force this without IDE support by reformatting everything to your preference on git pull and back to ground truth on git stage/push, but when it comes to diffs, merges, etc, you must work in terms of the ground truth formatting. That's not even to mention doing stuff like PR reviews in online tools, not in your local editor/IDE. Going back and forth between the two like this would probably just be counter productive, you're better off just thinking in terms of the ground truth formatting from the start, I'd say.

I think while it might be possible under a very narrow set of limitations and usecases, it's probably just a very leaky abstraction to try to 'hide' the actual formatting of code in a text file.
It does, thank you!

The amount of effort to raise 2 kids verse 1 kid is not linear.

Curse of knowledge is real when it comes to teaching younger kids. Pace yourself and learn to simplify you explanations with good stories.

Breathing and mindfulness are very simple but helpful concepts. Stay present.

You have to keep reminding yourself of the most important things and you have to make a concerted effort to work towards those bigger goals.

Time keeps passing at a faster rate, this is mainly a function of how much responsibility you take on.
I accept that, but policy seems to enforce single family home neighbourhoods in many places. This exacerbates the problem of haves and have-nots in the housing market.

I'm not in the "ban SFH neighbourhoods" camp, but I think we shouldn't have as much of a problem with them becoming denser. Particularly not when the people already living there tend to have the chance to be well-compensated by selling to developers if they want.

This doesn't mean developers should be allowed to let rip either - as one of the other posts says, increased density leads to increased demand for other infrastructure as well.

Basically neither Manhattan nor Houston are really ideal states in my mind. There should be a way to live in the burbs if you want to do that, but I don't think public policy should be vigorously defending the people who do that regardless of obvious social and economic costs.

Regulations to fix regulations.... Perhaps the root issue is that the government tries "helping" too much.

Neither California nor Oregon have the the spatial constraints somewhere like NYC does.

Both states and their cities have implement policies which only make sense when you've run out of land and the ability to develop relatively unregulated.

Government intervention except for at the last possible moment almost always has negative long term second order effects.
Is this really that surprising? Having more than roughly $10,000 cash in the US is nearly illegal, in that you're guilty until proven innocent and the police can just take it until you prove that it was obtained legally. You may not be charged with a crime, but you're still going to lose the money. The courts are slowly inching away from this unconstitutional insanity, but a duffel bag of cash is still going to end up turning into a new Hummer for whatever local police squad finds it.
Simple question: Why doesn't Google prevent this? Eg. "To publish an app on the Play Store you must provide a clear way for the user to pay or subscribe in the app"
If I understand your post correctly, I agree with its substance: keep unreviewed changes small, probably a subclass of Kanban's "reduce WIP". This should be already known industry-wide. The Kubernetes Contributor guide states: "break large changes into a logical series of smaller patches which individually make easily understandable changes, and in aggregate solve a broader issue".

However, I feel that your technological choice is a bit nitpicking. I believe that creating an alias for 'git checkout master; git pull; git checkout my-branch' and another alias for 'git push; curl .../review' would essentially implement the same workflow as you suggest. (Granted, in some organizations, creating a branch is a heavy process: It requires opening a JIRA ticket, the branch needs to be well-named, etc. but these are not technological issues.)
