I’m pretty sure you lost track of your own analogy there. If there are better deals at a different supermarket, people will just go there. They might even go to multiple supermarkets in pursuit of deals. Literal death is not a realistic consequence of switching supermarkets (thanks in part to food safety regulations!). There’s a very efficient market here.

On the other hand, if there’s a better deal on a different apartment, (1) it probably won’t be available; (2) even if it’s available, it probably won’t really be cheaper after accounting for the huge direct and indirect costs of moving; and (3) even if it’s really cheaper, people will still rightly be reluctant to upend their life to take advantage of it. It’s not “charity” when you’re paying through the nose for something that you don’t have a realistic choice about.

Ok, sure, example with numbers:

---------------------------------

Set A: 100 companies are surveyed

60/100 companies use GitLab (60%)

---------------------------------

Set B: 82 of the surveyed companies use a CI solution of some kind

50/82 of those companies use GitLab CI (61%)

---------------------------------

The two percentages make sense because Set A and Set B is not the same set of companies, hence the denominator is not the same in the two percentage calculations.

I LOVE the idea of multi-signer reproducible builds

F-droid feels incomplete to me -- open source + third party builds are still not enough, we need privacy linting and community code review to have any assurance of what these apps are doing.

I don't know of anyone who thinks that teachers unions- esp. in NY of all places- are going to be "busted", at least not by this. I also don't see how the administration benefits at all from paying 10-20 million a year in salaries to teachers who arent teaching; it'd surely be cheaper to speed up arbitration and get on with it.

As for the seniority system, unfortunately, the tyranny of the marjority is how it stays in place. First in, last out, best perks. The nature and structure of unions enables this far more readily than any merit based system. Vote all you want, but it won't change that both the company and the union are trying to screw you over. At least, that's the mentality among anti-union types in the US.

>I imagined he was talking about words like "socialism" or "equality" -- words that are obviously slippery.

Even if this were necessarily true, it wouldn't make philosophizing about them useless; for instance, as slippery as the term 'equality' may be, it's also clear (except for 18th century French philosopher Babeuf) that it doesn't literally mean that everyone in society is allocated and has access to an equal amount of resources.

In my own experience talking about these concepts, much greater confusion and misunderstanding comes from simply not reading the source material, rather than the words having potentially different meanings. Most people (including some socialists) talk about socialism without having read just what its foremost proponents (and critics of their own socialism) have to say.
I suppose it depends if the use/need is in serial or in parallel.
As I understand it, part of the risk is proving that you didn't perform the illegal act, and that an investigation itself can be damaging (loss of equipment/public reporting that you are being investigated for being involved in illegal behaviour).

If you maintain a strict separation between your traffic/equipment and the exit node, this may be less of a risk, but is subject to the laws of your jurisdiction.

You write: "There are all sorts of costs associated with car ownership beyond mere purchase cost and repairs". Service and maintenance is another one. I have colleagues who, overall, like the Uber and Lyft lifestyle, even when facing the occasional cancellations.

I posted in a different thread on a similar topic the other day about how recent tax policy shifts helped me increase savings and pay less than 10% effective tax last year. My post was downvoted and flagged.

If you already have wealth, the economy is working pretty well for you. If you’re in a low paying job, often times with irregular schedules and less than even 20 hours a week, you’re in a world of pain.

> So why do we talk so imprecisely about objects as if they have permanence? Why is it the same river the next time we step in it?

Why do most languages allow variables to mutate, rather than forcing us to write in static single assignment style?

Because it is useful; the imprecise name still communicates something of value to both parties: that variable foo and variable foo', although not identical, are joined by a common purpose.
I’m a long time VI(m) user, who started with emacs. I’m proficient in both editors, but use vim as my daily driver.

When I started my career, my mentor was an emacs user, and the reason I started with emacs. I became very proficient with the editor, learning how to handle multiple buffers, window splits, rectangle selects, etc. At that time, I didn’t know vi.
Until I started working on another project, where the project manager made a statement to me that started my migration to vim. I was logged into a machine that didn’t have emacs, and I was complaining about it. “Just use vi”, he said. “I don’t know vi”, I said. Then came the statement that stuck with me,
“Son, you got to know vi just enough so you don’t look stupid.”

So I learned vi, just enough to not look stupid, and eventually, as proficiency set in, turned to vi more often than emacs.

Now vim is my primary editor, and I can use emacs just enough to not look stupid. ;)

Back to defaults.
I customize my vim with colorized syntax highlighting, and several plugins. But at its core my vim is still default with respect to key bindings.
These are the defaults that matter. If you leave key bindings alone, then the core of vim use is identical anywhere you use vim, with or without your personal vimrc.
You can a make “stick to the core defaults” argument for just about any editor. Just keep the core defaults, and customize away on systems you use daily. Then when you use the editor without your personalizations, the editor still behaves as usual.

My editor life is also easy, but with some more creature comforts for daily use.

Come to Munich. I find it very difficult to tell how rich most neighborhoods are here, whether city or suburb, whereas in the US I usually noticed easily without even thinking.

Well, that depends on how you feel about social mobility and segregation, I suppose. If you support the rich and poor being kept separate from each other, if you want to keep social mobility low, then sure it makes sense to support these regulations.

> rather than just throwing up our hands and giving up on these underserviced 'bad' neighborhoods.

Giving up? In practice, the result is evening out of neighborhood quality and desirability, not some neighborhoods just being randomly abandoned.

Until they collude with each other.
What they probably mean is that if each component can fail independently with a probability of 0.001 (0.1%) then the probability of both of them failing is 0.001 * 0.001 = 0.000001 (0.0001%)

If the system depends on just one of the components working then 1 - 0.000001 = 0.999999 (99.9999‬%)
Mortgages tend to be equal to rent in the long run due to efficient market reasons. Credit card debt is especially ruinous because unlike mortgages and car loans, there's no asset for the bank to go after if you default. As a result the interest rates are naturally higher because the people who roll over their balance month to month have to pay for the people who go bankrupt at a casino.

My dad and I tried to run a blog investigating things like this and giving advice. We've both been able to keep our car costs remarkably low. He's currently driving the most expensive car he's ever owned which cost him 10k (high mileage truck) and I'm still driving a 1993 Nissan SUV I bought a few years back for $900. Even when factoring in cost of repairs for both cars and bad gas mileage, we've saved thousands and thousands versus driving new[er] cars.

I don't think we were being condescending, but all of the posts were met with outrage that we dare suggest such things. People would say things like "I need a reliable car to get to work, and if it's not new, it's not reliable."

I'm not, but someone on YouTube has taken the time to document restoring one of similar vintage:

The article you posted shows they went from 1300kWh/yr to 412kWh/yr. Amusing that it says "Some use as little as 255 kwh/year" when the article I posted mentions 244kWh/yr for the 30s Monitor-Top. (Mine is a "flat top" but has a very similar refrigeration system.) Like I said, average power consumption went up after the late 60s/early 70s, but before that they used less.

The compressor in mine draws <100W when running. A quick calculation shows that if it was running 24/7 that would be almost 900kWh/yr, but it definitely won't be running that much --- duty cycles I've found for these old ones vary from 15-20%, giving around 200kWh/yr, still very good. How often you open it and/or put warm things in probably has a higher impact on total power consumption than anything else.

Public transit sometimes works, but it almost always increases how long it takes to get somewhere. If I was struggling to make ends meet by working two jobs and had kids, public transit would likely add so much time to my commute, that I'd have to choose between a second job, and having any time with the kids.

Frankly, I think car ownership is one of the most freeing things we have in modern life. It opens up doors that would be closed if you relied on other forms of transportation. Being able to go where you want, when you want, is very valuable.
