Needs some syntax for referring to definitions of terms used in the arguments. Terms like “easier” and “complex” need formal, agreed on, definitions for the example arguments to make any sense.
Well, are you in support of a suburb or a small town? A suburb is wildly distinct from a small town. Most would agree that a suburb solely exists to house people that work in a nearby city, whereas a small town is self-sufficient (in the sense any area can be "self-sufficient").
Oddly, having interest rates increase would be a net positive. The whole issue with student loans is that banks have no skin in the game. They literally cannot lose money on a loan, so they will give them to anybody for any amount.

The whole problem with student loans is that there is no risk in making a student loan. Solve that issue, and the problem will correct itself.

Without revealing details -- I worked for this company at this time. I was privy to certain financial details.

Google did not destroy them. A combination of poor business decisions and possibly corruption did. I watched these decisions unfold in person and I won't provide certain details because I don't want to say anything that might be considered libelous, but this guy is straight-up throwing a pity party for himself. It has nothing to do with reality.

Google was not actually evil back then. Did they offer contracts to content creators? Maybe. No reason Live Universe couldn't have done the same.

There actually was lots of adult content on the Live Universe network of sites. Just -- everywhere. Content moderation was ineffective because so much of the community was driven by porn: Users wouldn't flag adult content because that's what they were there for, so massive amounts of it just piled up. Google had every reason to stop doing business with them.

This guy straight-up admits there was child porn on the site and they were engaged in shady SEO tactics then bitches that Google delisted them.

There are plenty of regular grocery stores with produce and meat in the US, and also many stores that specialize in foods of immigrants. For instance, in a city of about 100,000, there are three grocery stores that sell produce within a mile or two of where I live, and three Asian (meaning east Asian) grocery stores, and at least one Indian grocery store. There's a Mexican grocery store not too far away, and I'm sure there are halal places too. A lot of people get produce at farmers' markets which are everywhere as well.

You may not be aware of this, but writing articles that make absurd generalizations to get clicks and upset people is popular on the internet these days.
Generally, yes. You can sell the building on the land (which you own) and transfer the lease (sometimes for a fee, sometimes not). My family has a cabin North of Seattle, WA (USA) that is on land that a non-profit cultural association just renewed a 99 year lease on from a railroad (I forget which one). So long as you abide by the org rules sales are easy. I do not know how universal such set-ups are.

This is your problem. In a city you don't need to put yourself and your family in a deadly metallic stress machine to get places. And as a result you will feel happier and more connected.

Even in a city I am sometimes very shocked at what we put ourselves through to use a car. People constantly honking and flicking each other off with various insults and me on the sidewalk wishing they'd all calm down. (And when I used to drive too much, I was angry like them, and weighed substantially more.)

Anyone who had read Jane Jacob's Death and Life of Great American Cities would predict what happens when you build isolated high rises, no matter how smart, with no actual connection to the urban life.

The article also speaks of these cities as not intended for the rural poor migrating to the city. Edward Glaeser's Triumph of the City examines (among other things) why the rural poor flock to cities: no matter how dismal the slum, it's still better than the farm, and it's at least possible for some entrepreneurs to get started. Smart cities that exclude the poor and working class can't thrive.

Glaeser shows that cities are engines of economic growth, but this requires clean water and sanitary living for everyone, and only state intervention can provide that. Instead of building high tech playgrounds, cities should literally clean up their act. Getting clean water is not glamourous, and probably not lucrative to individual actors, but in the end it pays off.

I agree. But this is half the solution. The other half is an authoritative source that tracks the arguments and evidence for various hypotheses and theories. So a layperson can understand the basic argument and the strength of the evidence for or against it in about 15 minutes, but fractal in nature so that one can descend all the way down to the raw data if they choose. Something like Wikipedia, except for hypotheses and theories about how existence works. Then we can just link people to a source that outlines the flaws in their pet theories.

Side note: I think diet advocates and climate enthusiasts would be in for a bit of a shock from such a resource when they have to deal with the fact that epidemiology and model building are some of the weakest forms of evidence. But I digress.

In case it's useful I immediately got a dead link https://argdown.org/guide/a-first-example/ from this page https://argdown.org/guide/
I think your premise is a bit faulty. A photographer basically never gives anybody a raw image unless they’re giving up control of how the final image looks to somebody else (as some other said, there are some special circumstances, such as competitions - but this is not for anybody to use for presentation, just ensuring that the image hasn’t been altered in ways not allowed - i.e compositing multiple photos to fake some amazing occurrence).

Processing the raw file is almost as much a creative art as composition and photography itself! So if a application processes raw images in a way the photographer likes better than the algorithms another app uses, then all the better. They’re going to export it in the end anyway.

The camera manufacturers of course do release specifications and probably proprietary code for processing raw images from their cameras to companies like Adobe to use in Lightroom under NDA, which I assume they use as a basis, but all these apps have their own ways of doing adjustment and extra processing too.
> How many users browse the internet through Google's cache?

A more pertinent question is how many Chinese users would gladly browse the internet through Google's cache, if it were available to them.

A fair guess is a number at least as large as the number of Chinese users who used to browse the internet through VPNs before the government cracked down on those (nearly 1 in 3 of all Chinese internet users, according to [1], i.e. hundreds of millions).

> Splitting hairs over cache vs. linking the dead website is ignoring the point.

The point, which you appear to have missed, is that you can't expect the censorship to work as implied by the statement I responded to. Google wouldn't be allowed to simply serve up the same search results as outside China. It would have to remove them entirely.

To your first comment, I work in tools and infra at $bigco, and at this point I essentially require that any newish tool expose an internal API that the tool is an unprivileged consumer of.

CLI? Your Python or Java binary should be a flag parser that calls all logic out to a library. Web api? It consumes an internal library and the server just parses and passes arguments.

(Obviously this doesn't always work for rich interactive apps, but often things aren't).

Then adding a new interface is easy (and can sometimes be done automatically). It took a new hire on my team like 2 days to add a new interface to a tool that followed this pattern, when I've asked other teams for similar, estimates in weeks :/

It also has a side effect of improved testability and maintainability.

Is China AI Hot or Not? (Asia AI Newsletter)
Another of their own articles, linked at the bottom [0], hints at both sexual selection and natural selection:

> Usually, only males grow a single tusk, suggesting that it may have a function in sexual selection. Females judging the suitably of mate by the size of his tusk, horn or body mass is a common trait among animals.

> Recent research demonstrating a statistical link between the length of a male narwhal’s tusk and the size of its testes would seem to support this theory, except there is one hiccup: female narwhals can grow tusks too.

> The tusks may be used by males like the lances of jousting knights to demonstrate their dominance, scientists say. Forehead scars seen on male narwhals and broken tusks may be evidence of such battles. Narwhal “jousting” has never been documented in the wild yet recent video footage from a drone has captured for the first time narwhals appearing to “stun” fish with their tusks.

> Beyond mating, scientists are finding increasing evidence that narwhals may use their tusks to sense their surrounding environment and help catch prey. New research has provided indications that the tusks may have the ability to sense the temperature and salinity of ocean water.

What about the whole component based approached? You could certainly take a component based approach with simple code organization in HTML, CSS, and JS frontends. I've done that before, in a sort of pseduo-web components way using directories and naming schemes.

React and Vue makes it easier with single file components and wrapping it in functions which makes handling state and configuration. Which increases reusability and helps further encapsulate the components.

One of the most obvious gains to me is helping manage huge CSS files in legacy projects [1]. Components are way better than a giant BEM'd [2] CSS file, it's much nicer writing .box in a <style scoped /> in Twitter.vue instead of .twitter__layoutBox among a ton of other nested layers. All just to avoid global clashes and maintain some sanity.

Or a ton of global jQuery plugins for select boxes and modals and everything else.

Everything is so much more portable across projects.

That's not even mentioning the whole plug-and-play reactivity that is baked in.

> Use Matrix if you want to contribute to Matrix or are an enthusiast about what Matrix is trying to do. But don't use it as a secure messenger, or tell at-risk people to use it.

Also replying to this (likely too late!) in the hopes of a little clarification. In particular, "don't use it as a secure messenger" seems like strange advice in view of the fact that there don't seem to be any better options. That is to say, there are no options that fulfill all three of these requirements:

1. Full support for group chat with end-to-end encryption between all participants. (Matrix even includes cryptographic controls on how much history is shared, though that's not a requirement.)

2. Completely open source with no centrally controlled servers.

3. Does not require any PII (including a phone number) to begin using.

As far as I know, every messenger fails on at least one of these counts, and many fail at all three. It's one thing to criticize Matrix (there are a lot of things about it that suck right now, to the point that I'd never recommend it to a casual user), but to do so without any alternative doesn't seem helpful.

Have I missed something better?

I keep hearing people say some variation of this without understanding the irony of the statement. A perfectly competitive market means, among other things, that there is zero barrier to market entry. That means you can enter the market without large capital spending. Given the amount of capital plowed into these gigantic platforms, any statement starting with "if tech were truly competitive..." is purely hypothetical and probably always will be.
In fact, heroin use was the only drug the use of which went down in Portugal after the decriminalization. Use of other drugs went up, especially MDMA. At the same time, heroin use also went down in other European countries in which no decriminalization happened. It blows my mind that some people believe that change in Portugal’s policies was some kind of a huge success.
Hi Spencer. I applaud you for trying to formalize and refine that ADU process (for the goal of helping people find affordable housing).

The California market might be suitable for this, but that market is unique in many ways. I wonder how this can scale beyond CA (perhaps that market is big enough...).

Given the alternatives to unaffordable housing, I see the appeal. But as other commenters have noted, this need exists because of a very warped localized economic situation. The real problem may not be solved, but eventually there will be some shake out (such as vast numbers of people deciding it's not worth living there) that will help to normalize things. When that day comes, your business model will be less relevant.

Cheers and good luck.
