Low income housing is the wrong solution to a simple problem. Zoning laws introduce too many restrictions to keep the market from running efficiently. This is why you see "housing crises" everywhere in the world right now. If the market could solve the problem, it would. The market can't solve it, so the problem persists and aristocrats get to keep watching their land values skyrocket and rent-seek another day.

Zoning isn't a cure-all. Housing is getting pretty expensive in Houston, one of the only large US cities with lax-to-non-existent zoning laws (and also high property taxes). Also, I think most people want some restrictions on what can be built where. I don't think many parents want strip clubs built next to preschools, and I don't think many people want a cement factory to be built across the street from a public park.

I also don't think many people want the zoning laws we have either. They just want to see their land value increase as fast as possible, but that's not really sustainable either.

I thought we might reach a tipping point as we reach a majority renter population. But Europe has been a majority renter society for a long time, and I would argue Europe's housing (to buy) is more unaffordable than US housing. Strangely, the price to earning on real estate makes 0 sense in Europe (even with respect to interest rates), and renting is somehow much more affordable in Europe (even though buying isn't).
It is toilet paper manufactured by Georgia Pacific a subsidiary of Koch Industries. I don't have a car because I can work from home so I mostly walk or bike keeping healthy although doing it for environmental reasons. I also boycott refined sugar in protest against mismanagement of sugar cane production runoff in Florida. Nobody cares about that either, however, I've lost a ton of weight since and my dentist says that my teeth are perfectly healthy, so there is that.

From my experience it is one of the most productive programming languages to develop in, and the code can be iterated on to reach performance that is as good as C or Fortran code.

At odds? Aren't they perfectly complementary? The closer things are together, the faster it is to get between them.

Glad to see this. I take any future large-scale green energy initiative as unserious if it doesn’t take an honest look and consideration at new nuclear energy power plants.

Thanks for the response, I've taken up meditation for the last couple of weeks. Definitely helps clear my head, at least for a short period of time. I'm really not concerned about being known throughout history, my only goal is that by the end of my life, I feel like I've done something fulfilling and rewarding enough to warrant the incredibly good fortune I've had being born during this time, to this family, in this part of the world.
A lot of diets, especially IF style diets, are pretty much just tricks to get you to eat less calorie wise. Intermittent fasting does this by just setting the simple rule, only eat during a relatively small window of time. It's easier to eat less during that period because there's only so much you can comfortably eat in that time. (Granted you can totally fit a whole day's intake in the IF period but it's harder).
It is, but many people refer to it as how they’d invoke it.

Yeah the "core downtown pedestrian zone" concept I'm sure is popular and gaining more traction, which is great.

But I'm talking more about taking a random street that passes through the entire town and removing cars permanently. Maybe a side street parallel to the existing major car thoroughfare.

At the extreme end, say, turning an entire North/South avenue of Manhattan bike/pedestrian-only.

Replacing roads with public transit does not mean that fewer people will travel there. It often means more, as proven in hundreds of cities around the world.
The person in question has a relationship with the credit card company, in that they have requested and use the credit card (and if they aren't using it, nothing is being collected). I agree that opting into collection automatically is less than ideal, and I don't want it to happen, but this isn't some third party getting between some other nefarious third party and myself, it's them injecting themselves into an ongoing business relationship between two parties.

You can label them surveillance companies all you want, and in some contexts it might be the most fitting description. In this context, I would say it's more fitting to say they are contractual partners abusing the looseness of the contract for their own benefit.

Just in case you missed where this particular thread started, the top level comment is about the opt out forms for data collection at Visa and MasterCard, and the reply's (possibly somewhat in jest) suggestion that since the CAPTCHA is so simple, someone just use whatever card numbers they have access to to opt people out automatically. All my comments are specifically in that context, which is one of random third parties using card numbers they shouldn't have direct access to anyway to alter the business relationship of others without authorization.
So they change the person who is their guardian before they reach the age of majority, and this does permanently change the persons who are used to calculate the expected family contribution? The article is a bit unclear.
Maybe the UK should split - it's certainly pretty painful trying to keep it together.

Despite that I would have recommended Scotland vote to remain a part of the UK. Inconsistent? To a point yes, but with better technology, I might have changed my mind.

One key problem with fully splitting the UK is there's no identity card system so no chance of an internal border. If Scotland had split from the UK, its economy would have rapidly collapsed because the SNPs economic plans were all based on a relatively high price of oil and the oil price collapsed a few months after the referendum. A socialism driven economic collapse in Scotland would have caused a mass influx of Scots into England with no way to identify them or send them back. With an ID card it can be more like in Europe where you have to register, and there can be some notion of a soft border. Same applies for Northern Ireland.

I'm not sure why you think small means weak. Germany would seem to have disproved that notion twice in the 21st century. At any rate, I'm not arguing against military alliances, and given the only armies in Europe that are worth anything are the British and French, the EU will soon be relying almost entirely on France.

Or perhaps you have bought the idea that small countries "have" to sign trade deals with bigger countries. That's simply false.

Finally, what EU fans want is irrelevant. It's what they'll get that matters. Do you see the EU ever respecting a vote that doesn't go it's way? Do you see any real movement towards putting the EU Parliament above the commission and ECB? No, the "parliament" is a sham and the EU's response to democratic rejection is to ignore the result or try and force the population to comply.

You're going to get a new Soviet Union whether you want one or not. The inertial direction of travel is quite clear.

Horseshoe Crab blood is an irreplaceable medical marvel
What I am saying is you can kiss goodbye to everything except fruit, potatoes and some easy vegetables on good fields in Norway (except central East Coast and Trøndelag, they have somewhat better conditions). Fruit will be hit or miss in a lot of places and will only be an option in southern parts of the country anyways.

Same goes for a number of other places in the world.

As I pointed out from the start, the efficiency gained by growing plant food for humans instead of food for animals elsewhere in the world might more than compensate for this, -but going hardcore vegan will reduce global food production compared to a mixed approach.

It will also erase a lot of culture and landscapes that depend on active animal farming, but who cares?

>Why would your body breakdown your organs when you still have plenty of adipose stores ?

Most people are not "fat adapted" meaning their body/brain primarily run off of glucose.

When you fast and your body runs off of glucose, it still goes into ketosis and burns fat, but the brain still needs glucose because that its accustomed primary fuel source (think of marathon runners hitting the wall, that is their body conserving remaining glucose in the body for the brain to function). When their is no dietary glucose the body breaks down protein (muscle and organs) to convert into glucose to keep the brain working (gluconeogenesis).

This will still occur but to a far lesser degree to people who are fat adapted and primarily use fat for energy.

This aggressively selects against the elderly, the poor, and rural and even many parts of suburban living.

I am not, as a rule, particularly fond of rural or suburban living due to free-rider problems, but as long as we choose to subsidize those lifestyles, a prompt and rigorous postal service is necessary. And as long as we have poor (and old) people kept out of the technological race, it is incumbent upon us to not stick a thumb in their eye.
I don't think that's it. Almost every major site has RSS, but it's usually just headlines, which I think is fine.
Yes, we can definitely incentivize people to change their energy usage habits as well. EVs will come very handy if/when their charging schedule can be centrally managed (thru automaker car networks or smart chargers).
> 551,800 home shortfall for low-income renters

There is also a shortfall of Ferraris for low budgeted car buyers. /s

I say this, in jest, to illustrate that part of the issue is the North American perspective of the minimum viable living space. Many of our regulations increase the cost of production to the point that there is no viable solution at the price point that people can afford. I think we need a rise of micro units to allow people to live where they can afford.

The capitalist side of me says "Why should a developer take a unit of resources an intentionally make it generate less revenue?" The claim usually goes that capitalism uses the constrained resources of a society at maximal benefit...

In a talk my parents sent me a few years ago, the speaker (I believe a nurse) argued that you need at least ~20 calories to trigger a metabolic response. Hence, things like tea, coffee (even with a tiny bit of milk), fish oil, etc. should be fine.
I write a lot. I can tell from my own experience that what I'm feeling when I write translates into my handwriting in subtle ways. You may object to some particular method that I'm unaware of, but I don't think "handwriting analysis" in general is absurd. It's data and so there are models of it and inferences.
If we allow entry of students from underperforming schools into colleges with historically high academic requirements, one of two things will happen, neither of which are particularly good:

1. These students will struggle and be much more likely to fail out, depending on how much of a boost they're given by the so called adversity score

2. Standards will be lowered and as a result graduates will be less competent and schools lose prestige and/or society suffers in the long run from workers who previously would not have qualified for their degrees.

You cannot undo the damage of 12 years of poor schooling by simply throwing a student into a more rigorous curriculum, no matter how admirable the intent.

And arguably point 2 has already been happening for some time anyway given the swelling of college ranks over the last few years and the corresponding devaluation of the college degree. More people may hold degrees, but the normal distribution of intelligence has not changed, which must indicate that the rigor of the average degree has dropped substantially in the last few decades given the proportion of the population that is now educated.
So this wouldn't be allowed if he didn't use workers to make a redirect?

That is a complex question with no one right answer.

Transit isn't just a chauffeured limo ride for rich people to ride to their job downtown, while saying they are helping the environment. If that was the only reason for transit it should pay for itself (a small fare increase might be required).

Transit is for the poor: those who can't afford a car, and have no prospect of getting a better job. These are a large number of such people, who really can't move up. Cheap transit means they can just afford rent and food thus meaning society doesn't have to do more to take care of them. Cheap is a matter of pride, it lets them think "I pay my full price for everything", while the real costs are hidden.

Transit is for the disabled. Many of them are poor (see above) - but even the rich ones cannot drive for some reason. A transit system means they have a way to get around and thus causing more work for nurses and the like. It is cheaper to subsidize a bus to the hospital and an ambulance.

Transit is to reduce load from the road network. A bus with just 3 riders is using less road than those riders in a car. thus cars should cheer the bus as it means less traffic for drivers to deal with. As traffic gets worse it is cheaper to shift drivers to transit than to build a road. Thus subsidies to transit can have the same effect as building another road at much less cost, making driving cheaper to everybody.

Transit has strong network effects. One bus/train isn't useful for many people, as you add more lines and service times the transit system becomes more useful to everybody. However this requires expensive upfront investment to get to the level of service required for people to ride. This investment is hard to pay for.

There is lag time between transit existing and people riding. Someone with a car won't bother to try the transit system even if they are the perfect candidate (a direct route from point a to point b that is faster than driving) they are so used to driving they won't look up the route right away. It can be years between opening a system and everybody who would ride actually riding. In the mean time the investment has to be paid for.

Transit allows denser building, which in turn allows higher property taxes. Thus a transit system should be subsidized by the property near where it stops (400m in each direction or some number in that range) as the property owner is benefiting from the transit in the form of increased property values.

Your city needs to fix the transit problems you noted. My city has very nice buses that I ride every day. This will require investment, but once it is paid for I think you will find like me that you will sell the car and use the bus to get around. Counting my taxes to pay for transit, and fares, I break even vs paying for fuel, maintenance, and insurance on my car (which was paid for years ago so I'm not counting costs to buy the car - in some years I will have to replace the car though and then I'm way behind)
Interestingly I've seen the question often as "which do you identify as", which you can definitely lie on. If I said something like "Asian" instead of "Caucasian" it would definitely be lying because I don't actually identify as Asian.
