If you actually live in the city the grocery store is not gonna be a huge schlep the way it is in the burbs, and this may be coloring how you think about those changes.

When I was in Seattle I had a Safeway two blocks away and a Trader Joe’s three away. Very walkable distance, so I didn’t keep more than a few days worth of stuff in the kitchen as a rule; walking for six minutes each way is really not a hassle at all.

Now I’m about a mile from a Rouse’s and a Winn Dixie here in New Orleans. Sucks to walk. Super nice to bike though, especially since I can do most of it on the Greenway instead of fighting cars. It’s about twenty minutes to walk, which kinda sucks in the hot sun, but it’s a 7-9 minute bike ride in a pleasant breeze. I usually take the slightly longer route as it’s down the Parkway and the Greenway instead of fighting for space with cars. Maybe it’s a couple more minutes if I wanna count unlocking the back shed and taking the bike around to the road, then locking the bike up a minute away from the store entrance. I keep the load down to what fits in the milk crate on the back of the bike, and go at about the same schedule I did for walking: 2-3 times a week. It’d be less if I actually cooked instead of mostly eating pre-packaged crap.

How much time does it take for you to drive to your suburban market? Including getting the car started, finding a parking spot, and walking across the parking lot? How often do you go? Plus I get some light exercise without ever really thinking about it.

>Python has multiple inheritance; JS doesn't

I don't think multiple inheritance is a performance issue. A class's resolution order is resolved when it's defined (using C3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C3_linearization), and after that it's only a matter of following it, like Javascript's prototype chain.
The analogy I was going for:

LED bulbs have the same effect (same brightness), while using 85% less energy. But in spite of that it's like still complaining that they run on fossil fuels as if that invalidates the efficiency gains.

Impossible burgers have the same effect (having a fatty, juicy burger) while ultimately being much less destructive to the environment. (They actually use something like 85% less water). But complaining about the fact that they aren't healthier is an attempt to take away from the other amazing advances involved.

I've had "lab-grown meat" (as I've called it) on my future-world wishlist for at least a decade. It seems like we could get rid of a host of problems (inefficiency, suffering, potential for bacteria and diseases like mad cow from meat, etc), by engineering our meat.

I suspect the health aspects will follow, as the next frontier, now that this stuff tastes close enough to meat, will be to reduce cholesterol and other effects.

After all, if you really think about it, 99% of the sensations related to eating food are before we swallow it. If we can replicate all those things (the touch, the smell, the taste, the sight) and start to engineer the internal effects, we could have our (artificial) cake and eat it too, correct?

I say this as someone who LOVES hamburgers, who is a big foodie. Apart from lack of food poisoning, there is fundamentally no difference in feeling in your stomach between fine dining food and a homemade sandwich. And the same goes for the effects on your health. So we should absolutely try to engineer these things for their effects on our bodies. But first you have to convince people to want to even put this stuff in their bodies. And that's what the appeal to the other 4 senses is.

> I avoid ... polyunsaturated oils ... The fat and protein profiles of beef are better

I'm confused. Every source I can find says that with diabetes, saturated fats are worse for you and unsaturated fats are better for you (same as without diabetes):

https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/diabetes-understanding-fat

https://ucdintegrativemedicine.com/2016/09/diet-diabetes-sat...

https://www.joslin.org/info/5-common-food-myths-for-people-w...

https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eat...

https://consumer.healthday.com/encyclopedia/diabetes-13/diab...

Why do you believe that because of your diabetes, the saturated fat in beef is better for you than unsaturated oils?
I thought that was the point given their goals. I guess it makes their inner ugliness too blatant though.

I don't think we'll ever see that here in the U.S. unfortunately...the "Israel Lobby" wouldn't let it happen.

I wonder how to refine the "commenting about voting" guideline?

Normal chattiness in comments is totally fine. What's tedious is "I, the noble freethinker against the hideous masses" posturing. It's also common, because of the biases in how people perceive the community; basically, anything you dislike shapes that perception 10x more than anything you like, so most people's image of the community becomes an inverse image of themselves. This leads to a lot of noise and pre-emptive defensiveness, a sense of being surrounded by enemies in a hostile place, when the reality is we're all just wandering in a big statistical cloud.

It's such a fundamental dynamic at work here, that I'd love a way to distill it into a new guideline.

"Government sugar daddy". That sort of slanted injection won't win many people over that don't already agree.

I'm advocating for government loans to start co-ops. Less of a "sugar daddy" than the massive corporate subsidies going on today. You missed the point on a co-op being worker owned, you have to work there to own a share, and have to own a share to acquire a vote. Ownership and direct democracy in one. Solves a lot of problems economically and socially.
> While people in Zhuhai and Foshan and Guangzhou learned a second language so they could talk to their neighbors in Dongguan and Shenzhen and Huizhou, many Hongkongers did not.

I agree with most of your observations, but this part I am afraid is not true. Most of Hongkongers (especially younger generation, no matter what kind of political views they have) has operational proficiency in Mandarin, given that 1. it is taught in school after 1997 and 2. most jobs involves talking to Mainlander/Taiwanese at some point.
In most jobs - you won’t have to implement any type of complex algorithm. The complexity is usually in the business requirements.

Wasn't it somewhat about Japan, the China of 1980 so to speak?
Ebikes are technically restricted to 15mph here. The micromobility laws in the UK are a complete joke and driven by car and tier 1 manufacturers lobbying (e.g Bosch via EU).

EBikes and scooters are hands down the best solution to London's pollution issue yet people are getting fined for using them.

There is a complete lack of logic in the rulings. The reason why escooters are illegal whereas EBikes are not: throttle. An ebike with a throttle is technically not legal and in the same boat as an escooter.

This distinction is ridiculous as an ecyclist/scooterist with a throttle is safer than someone going the same speed under their own effort.

The law in the UK should be:
- throttle is allowed
- fine if not wearing proper safety equipment
- Speed limit increased to 25 mph or current vehicle speed limit (e.g 20 near schools)
- no power limit (this allows heavier people to go the same speed as others, and it allows heavier cargo-type bikes to be much more useful)
- Innovate UK/BEIS grants specifically for electric micromobility projects (right now EBikes and scooters are generally barred from these grant competitions)

I trust nothing from Apple when it comes to graphics. My years of pain as a graphics engineer trying to support their hardware and get good performance has created this deepseated mistrust, especially given their track record of abandoning open source standards, including the ones they started! (I'm looking at you, OpenCL).
Depending on the game they kind of do.
There's trading and gambling on CS-GO skins, places where you can get real world money for them.
For games like EA sport games in their online competition thing, you need to have the best players in order to compete, therefore there's a minimum you need to spend in order to get those players. You need to do that in order to have a hope of winning competitions and earn some money.
So while you can't just cash out directly there are ways in which it can be done.

The thing with Magic Cards though is that when you buy a pack you still end up with a bunch of physical magic cards which you own and can do with as you please. Either sell them, trade them, give them away, or burn them in a fire. With digital goods from loot boxes this is rarely if ever possible.

Now ask yourself which would you rather have, something physical which you can do something with once you no longer want to play the game, or something digital which is useless and has no value once you stop playing the game (or even when next year's game comes out).

I don't think a degree does these things. Education does, but a degree these days is not much of a metric for one's education.

I do such searches on my iPhone all the time. Especially cat photos. According to the Photos app, my recent searches include "cowboys," "april 2019," "colorado," "trains," "canyons," and "cat."

The iPhone was able to complete all of those searches without sending my data to Apple. When companies like Google say they have to have a copy of your pictures, they are lying.
I find myself un motivated to study/work on projects after work.

About 6 weeks ago I've decided to start getting up at 5AM and work on them before work. I find that works much better. I work on my projects for a couple of hours and get to the office about 8AM. Then that way when I leave the office I'm done for the day.
All those behaviours are bad, but the point of mandatory insurance is to cover liability— the ability of your choices and your equipment to incur damage and costs for others. In that regard, mandatory insurance for scooters doesn't pass the sniff test any more than mandatory insurance for people riding bicycles.

Yes, you can concoct scenarios where a scooter/bike triggers a crash by doing something unexpected/illegal such that another vehicle swerves. But these are rare circumstances, particularly in contrast with automobile collisions which nearly always involve damage to vehicles or property. Even at 25, 30, or even 40mph, how much damage is a scooter or e-bike capable of doing?

Bicycle licensing has been requested and studied so many times in Toronto that they actually have a page on their website about why it isn't done: https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-tra...

This is probably how the wall should be built for the most part. It allows wildlife to freely roam but then uses AI to identify specific threats. This will probably save a lot of lives too. Then Trump can have his wall and we can all laugh that it is invisible but it will hopefully be effective for border security and environmentally friendly.

Untrue. When my neighbor is filming the street with his facial recognition doorbell, my family keep cloud-connected audio recorders in their homes, and my friends and acquaintances are uploading their contact lists for analysis, my privacy is systematically violated and I am subject to the surveillance network beyond any choice of my own.

It is simply ignorant to tell me I can vote with my wallet, I would have to cut social ties and move into the wilderness to escape these abusive information-gathering practices.
You can also use your packs to draft Magic. Even if you don't get the cards you want, you still get to play a fun game.

In fact, conventional wisdom in MTGO is to never open packs and always draft them.
where do you go on sherdog to find good content? My experience with sherdog has always been constant shitposting and inflammatory posts. Of course, my only window into sherdog is browsing the highlighted forum threads on the front page for the past decade, which is probably exacerbating the problem.
It's interesting that someone could recognize the harm caused by droves of temporary visitors to a desirable area, yet not make the simple extrapolation of those effects to unlimited permanent resettlement.

I think that weird feeling OP is talking about is the cognitive dissonance from recognizing in person the need to keep from being overrun by outsiders, yet having a blind spot over the solution because its negation has already been accepted as a given due to social conformity.

From a user's standpoint, the main noticeable change has been the steady decline in the quality and amount of food included in the box (along with increasing simplification of the recipes). In the early days, you'd definitely get your $10 per person worth of ingredients, and the recipes were often quite complex, requiring multiple stages and up to an hour of time to prepare. There was also a clear effort to showcase different cuisines, prep techniques, and unusual ingredients that you wouldn't find in a typical grocery store. I can only speak for the vegetarian recipes, but recently it seems like a typical week is some variation on: a grilled-cheese sandwich, a pasta dish, and a grain bowl. Coupled with the fact that my skills have steadily increased with practice, there was little reason to continue and we finally canceled a few months ago (after a year or two of skipping most weeks). I can imagine an alternate history where they raised prices instead of cutting quality. We might have stayed with them longer, though it probably wouldn't have helped their bottom line any.

Why do we assume we won't have jobs for 100% programmers? Wouldn't everyone automate every task?

Instead we have low skill grads because they never learned useful skills in college.
No, we should try and fix the area and make it better. Throwing your arms up and saying "fuck it, we're leaving" is understandable on an individual level, but on a societal level the effects are devastating.

I think the problem with Pascal's strings wasn't that they stored a length. The problem was that every string variable always occupied 256 bytes of RAM and no string could ever be bigger than 255 characters.
The last job I had working in C didn't--we leaned heavily on libraries for stuff like strings, logging, hashtables, and serialization. Implementing that stuff yourself is either a big timesink, or just asking for bugs and security issues.
Sell me your brain?

It seems like communities can be ruined by richer tourists in ways that not so rich tourists won't. For example, in Pembrokeshire and areas of Devon some communities have been partially replaced by clusters of second-homes because rich people like to have their holidays there. Locals can no longer afford to live there because they lack the wealth to outbid incomers. Maybe that's not quite in scope for "tourism".

I can imagine other issues, like facilities being tailored to richer people (all your green spaces get turned into golf courses, or whatever, all the pubs cost a fortune); teachers, services workers and such can't afford to live locally.

Richer people maybe cause more environmental damage? 3 cars, private plane, large concreted property, ..., yes at a holiday home, as one goes further up-market?

Perhaps good if you want to work in service industries.

I don't think it is wrong though.

I have seen plenty of "too many tourists" complaints that were blatant xenophobia like complaining about hearing too many foreign languages or "feeling like a foreigner in their own country".
Sure, but none of that has anything to do with you or your accomplishments which is where luck enters the equation as to your starting place.

For the record I think borders should be secure, but also allow pathways to citizenship.
I'm surprised it has taken this long to roll out

Apple Stores have had this since 2011. I'm not sure why it's taken so long for other stores to get on board.

Maybe the delay for supermarkets is that they operate on such small margins that upgrading technology takes a long time.
That's not how science or epistemology works. The answer to any question is "I don't know" until you have some kind of research backing an answer. There is no default answer that something does or does not exist or is or is not true.

I created a group and wanted to update the name, I was confused by how it worked, I thought I'd type it in and click the back arrow seeing no button. Realized later I have to tap "Done" on my keyboard.
