Almost certainly yes.

The main problem is that as a whole, we tend to romanticize and privilege rural living. It's generally bad for the environment and economy, and really the latter is why people have already been urbanizing for, well, centuries now.

That as many people are able to live in rural areas now with a modern-ish standard of living is largely because of subsidies from more productive urban areas: just look at state government tax revenues vs spending by county and this is obvious.

I don't hate rural areas, but there's really no reason we should be subsidizing a lifestyle choice that's bad for the environment. At the very least, zoning rules at city and county levels that prevent densification even from landowners who want it on their property should be illegal, there's no good reason for those to exist. Some regional housing and transportation authorities with teeth would also go a long way.

There are all sorts of ramifications to the inefficiency of rural living that developed societies struggle to cope with. That providing, say, high speed internet out there may be too expensive for its own residents to afford may seem like an ignorable problem, until you remember there are kids out there too, and what if the local school wants the students to do things at home that depend on that internet access, which is a reasonable expectation in most of the country these days?

> Optimally humanity should have chosen base 12 instead of base 10, then the metric system would have used it.

If humans had evolved to have twelve fingers and twelve toes, then this could’ve perhaps happened. Even if humanity had chosen base 12 for whatever reason, I’d imagine we’d have different single digit symbols for numbers “A” and “B” that we use in hexadecimal now, with something like “10” representing what we call as 12 in decimal today.

I beg to differ. Quoting from the article (and with all due respect):

I've always wondered what executive coaching lessons are like.

Could someone who has taken advantage of them chime in on what you were hoping to get out of it, how you made it happen through those sessions, what the structure of sessions was like, and whether the information you gleaned through them impacted your decision making afterwards?

I assume they're generally positive experience as I've heard a number of people speak well about them, but I haven't really had the chance to dig deeper into what they're like.
> An acrobat, dressed entirely in black tights, scaled the building and entered through a window after the committee had completed their search of the room. According to the magicians, "the ghost" was a bit of gauze coated with phosphorescent paint that the acrobat removed from their pocket and waved around the room.

If they made a movie that just reenacted Tibbles and Wynter's illusions and other ingenious acts from the period, it'd be even more fantastical and thrilling than those in The Prestige and The Illusionist.

Assuming that's accurate (I feel they may be overshooting here, but I guess it depends on the chain), that's little more than daily requirement for a single adult.

If you want to learn the basics of creating a database schema (i.e. creating tables, defining relationships, normalization etc), this Lynda (now LinkedIn) course I think is the best for beginners. It does require a subscription to Lynda/LinkedIn to watch which may not be practical.

Mail in a Box makes it seem passably easy to someone with basic skills to get everything up and running, but then don't support in-place upgrades of the underlying operating system. This might be fine, but I really hope people realize what they're getting themselves into. https://discourse.mailinabox.email/t/mail-in-a-box-version-v...

This critique is somewhat shallow, if the backup/restore option is easy enough. But I just have a hunch there's going to be a lot of non-upgraded boxes running fullstack-EOL everything.

Of course, a system that does in-place upgrades and then fails is going to leave no-one any happier either.

I guess that my point really is that appliances requiring "complicated" upgrades by moving to a new OS install aren't all that mature. But I acknowledge I have a hard time determining who this product really is for.
"Staff" is one of several military terms that have made its way into business job titles.

> a lot of people in this thread are railing against the author saying nobody should care about the Amazon fire and that it's not a big deal

Any newspiece that can have a political angle, regardless of the textual content and the author's intentions, will have its potential political angle explored by other agents. Case in point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20789081

So it must be read between the lines, even though that can muddy the technical/factual debate.

A more sophisticated reading of such a piece must take into account how people will perceive it, and what actions may come from it.

Especially in the US (which may not be an exception — I just follow it more closely) a lot of news organizations seem to operate with a "news you can use" viewpoint: these are the facts, here's how to act in face of these facts.

Readers are primed to change their minds after being presented with a set of facts. It's akin to overwriting data that should have been appended to existing data[0].

I believe lower taxes stimulate productive investment of both human and financial capital so I'd prefer to lower income and investment taxes. But this only seems fair and sustainable if you raise the inheritance tax to a very high level. The problem isn't wealth so much as dynastic wealth. Land value tax I support 100%.
The 'humans are nature, therefore everything humans do is OK' argument is incredibly naive. Humans need to eat, for example, and there are complex global systems that our food supply depends on (e.g. pollinators), and that we do not fully understand. Turning all forests into apartment buildings is a great way to crash these global systems that we depend on to live.

Ejections usually happen after the aircraft becomes unflyable. Birdstrike is a common cause, see this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2zB7Z-b6Kc

The jet ingests a bird shortly after takeoff, causing engine damage and shutdown. Pilots try to restart the engine, after unsuccessful attempts they point the aircraft towards the nearest open field and eject. There wasn't much else to do. At low altitude, low speed, and without engine power and a place to land, the jet was going to crash one way or another.
Not everyone thinks that.

Asking this question is a bit like asking "Why do we believe in God?"

And the answer is that belief in God is not universal. Also, if you really talk to people in earnest, individuals who generally agree that God exists don't agree on a lot of other things pertaining to God and will have come to their belief by different pathways.

There are things for which there is enough consensus that it is socially acceptable to talk about it publicly. That doesn't mean everyone agrees. That just means most dissenters have the good sense to keep their thoughts to themselves and those that don't get mocked, pilloried, etc.

Rural areas also have non agricultural industry. Heck, it doesn’t make sense to do manufacturing in dense urban areas these days, which are restricted to mostly services. That means a lot of light manufacturing falls into semi rural areas.

The article mentions globalization but doesn't view inequality through a global lens. If you look only within rich nations, yes inequality has increased, because the poor and blue collar middle class have lost a lot of jobs to poorer countries. But that phenomenon is actually reducing inequality as measured from a global view.

The biggest issue I have with the article is that it ignores the geopolitical trends that were actual checks on inequality historically. Inequality typically only decreases in the face of an existential threat to the wealthy; when the US passed 90% marginal tax rates, it was to fund a war where the ability of the wealthy to remain in power at all was in question. Getting pensions and many other social democratic policies which benefit the poor and middle class, in many countries in the world, often required blood instead of the free market.
Eventually, society revolts, and 'the rich' end up owning a place for their head in a basket.
A “best effort attempt at landing” could land the plane in enemy territory though, essentially giving them a plane to study and reverse engineer.

I wonder what happens to society in a theoretical scenario where the foundation of why we build societies change. I understand this is way over simplifying it, but one of the basic premises of building a society is to control a finite resource. [We are going to control this water, this farmable land, oil field, etc.] I wonder what would happen to society if we were able to make more and more of the universe useable, if 3d printing became so efficient we were able to make our own goods, or other scenarios that would make it so we no longer needed to rely on a society in a classic sense to accumulate a "limited" resource. Would it fundamentally change how we govern ourselves or would we just change what metrics we use to define the rich/not rich?
Setting up and maintaining a mail server is not hard for the initiated, but I fear is archaic and endangered to be irrelevant as basis for interpersonal communication beyond a work context. It has its place as identity provider, able to receive invoices, but this can be subject to change too - and only newsletters and mailing lists will remain.
And? As someone in their early 30s I'd agree.

The discussion was what should college-age people be doing with their time. I'm simply pointing out that young people entering college typically have little academic knowledge and little real-world experience. So outliers aside, how are they fit to solve problems again? Most of them are white belts when it comes to adult life. That's not bad, just a statement of status.

Given that college provides years of uninterrupted access to scientific journals, never mind classes and a myriad of other education resources, I'd recommend that they maximize the opportunities in front of them and maybe work their way to to at least purple belt before setting out to save the world.

Also, I find it sad how eager you were to pigeon-hole me as some cable-TV-watching boomer who's refusing to change just because I pointed out there are economic nuances to the climate change argument. You sound like one of the victims of our shallow public education system I mentioned in my previous post.
So you're blaming Al Gore's running mate for the ACA being crap and this is supposed to convince me the Democrats can be trusted on healthcare? Ok.
I like the idea of progressive property tax rates.

Figure out the median property value, make the first 50% of that tax free. Then the next 50% is taxed at the previous rates. Then tax values above that enough to make up for it.

Could apply the same idea to land value taxes too.
Isn’t this a restatement of trickle down economic theory (sans raising inheritance tax), which has not really panned out when attempted?
Really enjoyable read. Makes you think how people still stick to their believes even when those are proved fake and useless.
You switch to a third party mail provider for the same reason you buy a new car instead of driving around your classic you've been fixing up as a daily driver. Not because you don't like it, but because sometimes there's benefit in offloading the annoying bits of your hobby so you can focus on the interesting bits.

Fixing up an old car is fun. Doing it in chunks of a few hours so you can drive it work the next day is less fun.

Running your own mail server is a fun challenge at first, as you have to figure out why some random site won't talk to your server, or why your load spikes at random times. Then you decide that diagnosing other people's broken configs and dealing with drive by spammers is annoying and boring.
Why is inequality a problem if everyone else’s quality of life is improving? Poverty is lower than ever and most adults in developed countries have a smartphone, an unimaginable luxury that not even the richest could have twenty years ago. Things are good.

That doesn't make sense. Each email is only worth so much to a spammer. They can't lose money on every email and make up for it with volume.
That is optimistic. The rich could also just get rid of all the poor people they don’t need. Armed drones even reduce the need for human soldiers to get that done.

Running your own mail server is like having a pet dog. You have to keep it in good shape, exercise it, feed it well .. chain it up when necessary, clean up after it and so on. Keep the neighbours kids from stealing it and using it to deliver drugs, etc.

If you treat it like a pet, it makes it a lot easier to manager. "Oh, did I forget to check the mail logs this week", and so on..
It’s usually much more expensive to buy as an individual compared to a group. Health care economics are weird.
It depends on your beliefs. I believe that people should have genuine freedom, and that requires that they have agency, if all types of environment apart from urban landscapes are destroyed then no one will have any choice about how they live - or what they experience - for the rest of time.

I rate that as a massive crime. If you don't believe in freedom or the rights of our children, and their children then I expect you disagree with me.
My experience with running my own mailservers for the last 20 years: it's definitely not hard. It's not painless, you need to spend a little bit of time now and then, and you need to know a little bit more about email than how to hit "send" in your mail client.

It's annoying that the default settings of almost all mail server software are suboptimal, but once I set it up correctly (yes, that took some time but nowadays there are plenty of tutorials) I had to do almost no maintenance at all. Apart from power failures that were unavoidable, the biggest issue has been spam blocker lists becoming outdated or going out of service. After that, the occasional hickup after a dist-upgrade or moving to a different country. But on average, my mail server is working perfectly fine 364 out of 365.2425 days. And, this is considerably better than the mail servers at the universities and companies I've worked at. Your Gmail might have given you no problems, but it is not working 100% of the time for everyone either.

So I'd say maintaining your own mailserver is as hard as painting rooms yourself, or changing the battery or light bulbs of a car. Not everyone wants to do that, and that's fine. If you're not afraid of it, it's a rewarding experience.

Does everyone here grow everything they eat in a windowbox? Dig their own ore? Not everyone in a rural area is just sitting in their trailer living off Social Security, and many of those that are were productive citizens in their youth. All the stuff NIMBY urbanites care not to do gets done elsewhere, and those people have just as much right to healthcare as anyone.
Yes, but there you could easily have people living in medium density small towns. You don't need everyone sprawled out on huge lots as is common in the states.

This isn't some wild suggestion, living in Munich now I've gone through plenty of little Bavarian towns that are more walkable than US cities 100x as big. I think the US is a bit unusual in how once you get out of bigger cities, it's just assumed that yeah of course any kind of multi-family housing is going to be almost completely absent now, as if the economics of scale there suddenly stop existing.

The market might even achieve this by itself to a large extent, but usually zoning rules make it illegal. Plus, there are non-market effects like property taxes not taking into account how expensive it is for the government to provide services, resulting in subsidies from denser neighborhoods to sprawly ones.
Income isn’t quality of life or purchasing power.
Oh, sorry for not making it clear, when I meant permutation I was referring to the the immediately next permutation. I guess after current set is over you could also take the Xth permutation of the current state, where X is a random integer. (so you randomly skip some permutations to not make it predictable).
I've often thought that on my next startup, I should just start it in Cabo San Lucas. Package on-site interviews with a weekend trip. Pay middle-America salaries. Work hard, beach often.
Another serious problem is that the care you get at rural hospitals is often much worse than at bigger hospitals. Doctors perform procedures less often and make more mistakes. A smaller variety of equipment is available.

Often you're better of driving a bit longer to a larger hospital.
Big difference between inferring and confirming and knowing
The primary metric in OP is income inequality, which is historically high. You're primarily addressing wealth, which is connected, but not the same. Taxing inheritance will do very little towards income inequality.
