I agree entirely. People are also somewhat blinded to it as well. They will complain about how trams slow down car traffic, while they are waiting on foot at a busy intersection that breaks up a shopping precinct. Completely ignoring the enormous impact that cars are having on their current space.

My city has caught on, and there are a bunch of car free streets and alleys being made in the CBD. They have boutiques and restaurants with outdoor seating, and it changes the dynamic of the area entirely. People are relaxed, not rushing, chatting with eachother without yelling . You get a lot more friendly encounters with strangers. It feels like you've reached some kind of special community area, just for you and the others there.
As someone who enjoys a lot of Michael Lewis's books, I completely agree. The arguments and explanations throughout make no sense, because it's a lot motivated reasoning trying to justify a false narrative.
As far as I know, having a fixed IP address or domain name is a requirement – Mastodon is decentralized in a different way from P2P protocols.

This is one of the reasons that the article I linked to above recommends a community-based approach. friend.camp (Darius' instance) uses a Patreon to cover the (fairly small) costs of hosting, registration, etc. I think a lot of users donate something like $1-$5/ year.

Running an entire server just for personal use may be overkill in terms of time-investment, monetary costs, etc. But for a small group of users these costs are negligible, and the small community still gets the benefits of having a lot of control over how the instance operates (who to federate with, custom features, etc).

We are used to thinking in terms of solutions that are either totally individualistic (everyone for themselves) or rely on giant monolithic institutions. A system made up of small, autonomous communities which can still communicate is a nice middle-ground.

Living in a remote location doesn't take away from the fact that you still must spend at least some time in a public space.
"How do we, as postal workers, balance the reasonable and compelling goals: get people their mail, and protect children."

One is our job that we are directly and morally responsible for (like a civil engineer being responsible for having a bridge not collapse at a load of >2 cars), the other is not. Call me callous, call me cold, but that is not explicitly up to us, we can't be under the delusion that we are the one key to everything and anything. It wouldn't make sense to have a "quick-release" button forcibly installed on all bridges that would cause an instant collapse if triggered "because countless children that are victims of human trafficking are taken over bridges everyday."
Although I agree with what you're saying, I always thought that a right was something the government gave us after taking it away in the first place, proving that a right is a political term, at least now days.

I've always used intrinsic right as you suggest to describe what you mention, to differentiate the two.

Because the problem lies in the political domain, it's not unexpected that these two ideas (intrinsic rights vs privilege) are deliberately conflated precisely to blur the boundary, making their agenda achievable: the control of people.

You have the option to move to split the motion, so that that items 21 and 45 are voted on separately and all the noncontroversial items can be passed.

The rules are for a body that has the power to make binding decisions. That's sometimes time-consuming, but that's the nature of democracy.
It's going to be interesting how it will work with self driving cars. Arguably the police will push for some kind of police only "pull over and stop" feature they can aim at any car which I'm sure will get absued. If you're in a self driving taxi you'd arguably not be the one abliged to pull over, rather the taxi's virutal driver is the one that needs to pull over. In fact with perfect self driving the passenger might not even be remotely aware of being asked to pull over. They could be asleeep, watching video with headphones on, playing VR games, anything to pass the time.

Also scary to me is the ability to use a self driving car as a slow moving cruise missle. They have a much longer range than drones. It seems only a matter of time before someone decides to use one in that way or other scary ways.
For the kids - they don't seem to take inspiration at all from us, in fact it's almost like they make a point to be as different from us as possible. Maybe that'll change after the teenage years, who knows :). But, tbh, I don't even mind. I don't want them necessarily to make similar choices with ours... it's just that their path is so different that I don't know where it'll lead them (we're both engineers, our kids seem to have artistic inclinations for some reason). It's a bit stressful because they're so different, but I take comfort in the fact that it's their choices to make, and anyway compared to the average person, they'll have ample support & opportunities to change their mind later, should they want to. They definitely have more room for mistakes than we did.
> If you go to third world countries like India, etc. you'll realize that even people who are dirt poor place an extremely huge amount of importance on education.

While I get your point, I don’t fully agree with this statement. The anti-intellectual strain is pretty common in India as well, it’s just a bit warped. There definitely is a fetish for getting into a good college and getting the right/prestigious credentials, but actual education (grounded, multi-disciplinary, non-rote-based) is many-a-time sneered upon, at least in my personal experience. I was lucky enough that my parents encouraged reading (they sometimes strained their finances so that my sister and I could get good books). A lot of my peers did not share or appreciate the necessity of reading “outside the syllabus”.
Unfortunately many shopping centers that build out to the sidewalk will display a blank wall with ventilators and so forth facing the sidewalk, and the real entrances are in the interior, facing the parking.

In one way this makes sense since almost all customers arrive by car but it certainly makes the street visually unappealing.

EDIT: I wrote "arrive by foot", obviously it is arrive by car in suburban locations.

> I doubt they need the tax breaks to justify building data centers in Argentina. I

If it was, then they would already have done it.

> It's already ridiculously cheap to do anything there because of their currency teetering on the edge of failure for such a long time.

If you bring a big infrastructure like that, for sure it will be quite good for the currency, which break the purpose of being there because it's cheaper, doesn't it?

Being cheaper isn't much of a benefits either, what makes it costly to operate the datacenter won't make it cheaper down there, if anything, it's going to be more expensive to import the expertise and resource required and to compensate any issue that may arise from the country in itself (power grid instability seems to be a big issue people mentions here).

> Amazon is also running out of places to build new regions

Yeah... I don't see how they are running out of places at all from that source.

> Tax breaks serve to minimize the benefits to Argentina

Tax breaks serve to bring companies there. It doesn't "serve to minimize the benefits", Amazon isn't going there to minimize the benefits to Argentina, but to maximize their benefits to themselves. It will certainly minimize the benefits though to Argentina, but it doesn't serve that purpose.

What you refuse to accept is that most likely Amazon wouldn't be there if it wasn't from that tax breaks, thus even if the benefits is lower than it could be, it's higher than it would be. I'm pretty sure Amazon didn't only contact Argentina to plan this datacenter, there's many other countries that could fit the bill in South America.
Another thing that often plays into this is access for firefighting apparatus. A lot of modern streets in North America are designed to be wide enough that two fire trucks can pass each other. But North American fire trucks are huge (often around 8 feet/2.5 meters) and a 5+ meter road isn't really human-scaled.

Part of this might be necessitated by the fact that we build most structures out of flammable materials, but with better fire-control technology (sprinklers) that could be mitigated.

It's amazing how often alleys/laneways are some of the most treasured parts of a North American city.

Eliminating parking requirements is not the same as eliminating parking. If you can park in a parking garage the multi-level part means that the cars do not take up so much ground space. However garages are very expensive and so they won't be built unless people are going to buy a parking spot.
There are reasons why most services aren't public ones and should not be - this argument actually works.

For each service that is public there's usually a good counterargument. Is there one for public subsidizing of private car parking?
Of course, everyone has wanted to build a Trebuchet. A classic book about the experience is Jim Paul's CATAPULT: Harry and I Build a Siege Weapon (https://www.amazon.com/Catapult-Harry-Build-Siege-Weapon/dp/...).
I'm OK with people making fun of my nerd hobby. I have also spent $800 on a 100 year-old fountain pen so I can do some spencerian copperplate calligraphy. I got functional utility out of that purchase, but most of fountain pen collecting is about nerds spending craploads of money on things that look nice.

Perhaps people shouldn't have started paying nerds a good amount of money to do super nerdy things. I don't know what to tell you.

I'm under no illusion that I needed $170 colored pieces of plastic on my keyboard when the keyboard came with a perfectly good set that wasn't as pretty.

I'm really cheap in most aspects of my life though. I know people that buy new motorcycles every year or so or put a bunch of time and money into customizing a car. Lots of people that make a third of what I do think nothing of spending $300 in drinks at a club on the weekend a couple times a month. Computer bougieness seems like a bargain. And I'm even a cheap bastard about that most of the time. I refused to upgrade this GPU generation because the prices almost doubled.
This happened in a country with direct democracy, instead of the political complexities in my country (US). It also took a long time to implement (another downfall of US policy making). It's also a much smaller country. But I wish we could do this, but it seems unlikely in much of the US to ever move away from car central design.
My wife and I talk about this. We are unsure if we have done a disservice to our kids by shielding them from the crap we had to deal with. We were poor, from broken homes, had to work very hard, and have a bit of luck to get where we are. Our kids are just so lazy.
In very expensive real estate markets high-end shops and chain stores will tend to dominate the store fronts on the streets. One way to create a sustainable space for small shops--flower shop, toy store, sandwich shop, etc--is to provide small, out-of-way commercial spaces such as along alleyways. Their size and location make them permanently unattractive to big stores, so you create a relatively safe inventory for mom & pop business ventures. The bonus is that now these spaces have a constant presence of people.
I've put together a number of fairly expensive keyboards ($700+) and I'm embarrassed to tell anyone I know (who sees them on my desk at home) how much they cost. I didn't build them for anyone but myself.

My dad thought one of them was really neat looking and was curious how much it cost. I was very reluctant to tell him but he kept asking and obviously was completely shocked when I told him the final cost. He couldn't understand it.

But, he has some expensive hobbies and I likened it to one of those. He couldn't relate to the joy of mechanical keyboards but he could relate to the passion of spending an illogical amount of money on something unnecessary but enjoyable.

Nearly everyone who has disposable income spends more than the average person does on something that they enjoy. That often means that you get something that is very unique to you and your personality. It's an expression of you, and that's comforting, even if it's only for yourself. These things are often entirely emotional decisions with no basis in logic whatever, and I think that's ok (assuming you can afford it).

I don't think many are buying any keyboard or kits just because they're expensive, but the cost might be indirectly related to the appeal -- because they're expensive they're more rare and that may make the buyer feel like they have something that is special and somewhat unique to them (because few others have it). I believe that same thing happens with rare and/or high end watches, cars, etc.

But they still don't turn into homo economicus. If they lose all care for love and popularity they might just as well find other outlets for irrationality, like bravado, hubris and generally taking things too personal (worst trading strategy ever).
I am not saying this applies to you and GP, but there are those of us who absolutely hate cyclists on the road at all (bike lanes are fine) because many of them have an entitled mentality and indeed, don't seem to care about their own safety, let alone the rules of the road.

Just this morning I had two cyclists cut horizontally across at 40 MPH street in front of me and other drivers. Many of them weave between cars or treat traffic signals as suggestions. Basically they want to be treated like normal traffic when it suits them and ignore laws when they want to. The ones who signal, wear helmets and reflectors and bright clothing, and drive on the road correctly are merely annoying because they hold up traffic and disrupt speeds, which is dangerous in itself because it causes a lot of lane swapping, but I can tolerate them.

I guess what I am trying to say is, thank you and GP for not being among those cyclists who are stupid, reckless, and entitled. I just know that someday I am going to be cleaning what passes for the brains of some idiot cyclist off of my windshield and am not looking forward to it.

I have however driven a motorcycle and while it is very dangerous, it is less so than a bicycle because you have the acceleration and maneuverability to get out of many situations. And motorcycles can drive the same speeds as the rest of traffic. People underestimate how many collisions are caused by traffic disruptions and abrupt changes of speed.
I'm someone who really wants to try one of these newer split keyboards, but absolutely does not want to solder the damn thing together myself. I not only wish there were more of these keyboards, but I wish it were easy to just buy one all put-together.

Thank you for summarizing this. Overly powered studies are rare, and this is the primary reason that null results are not given the status as positive results do. They should go into a journal of negative results and boldly state a power analysis.

> > I'd keep defending this principle even in case one of those criminals would exterminate my entire family.

>I think that's a bit too far... but I get your point.

Another way to say this is "I'd uphold this principle if it were your family, and I'd expect you to do the same if it were my family." It's understandable for principles to break down for individuals in extreme (contrived) circumstances, so long as most people abide by them.
That's because that was 2006. They were wrong. There is nothing wrong with saying that. Corporations change strategies every 90 days, there is no reason for the infallible cult leader admiration.

Facebook owns a lot of the virtual "space" where this discussion takes place. If they can willy-nilly make changes that favor some and disadvantage others, they can shape the debate pretty heavily.

They're ok with lies that are paid advertisements.
Entirely reasonable! I didn't mean that one end of the stretch was less natural than the other, just that it was a long one.

(On another note, it's amazing how easy it is for a comment can sound like a bit of a putdown inadvertently. Even after years of practice trying to skirt around such misinterpretations. Tone of voice and body language must be the greater part of how we avoid this in person.)
I had it around 1999, you had to mail(or fax?) the military to get access to the key the tarball was encrypted with.
Yes, I know, but it never actually goes below 4.0 for me on all cores when doing a render.
The 4.6 was referring to my 4770k which was at 4.6 on all cores all the time.
The way I typically like to use terms of art in writing is to write the term out first, and then a parenthetical with a definition. For example here you went to see an ophthalmologist (eye doctor). It's also good for acronyms and initialisms.
from the perspective of a contemporary Athenian, yes, he did say things that were incompatible with the state religion. I don't think a modern reader necessarily has to agree that that's "corrupting the youth". the Athenians also probably didn't care very much about this anyway. the charge was literally true, but it was also bullshit because none of the accusers actually cared about any of the offenses they were charging him with. what they actually cared about was that he had humiliated them in public on many occasions and his association with (though not outright involvement in) the reign of the thirty tyrants.

so actually fairly analogous!
You can calculate a spherical-only prescription from an astigmatism prescription. Order cheapest-possible glasses using those lenses, and wear them for a while before visiting a new optometrist. Leave them behind before you go in, and say you lost your glasses in the ocean, or they got crushed under a truck tire, or something. If you end up with a prescription that has a cylindrical component, and it has the same axis and magnitude as your previous prescription, then you have an objectively-measured, independently-repeated astigmatism.
For myself, I would stretch to even get to 2 services, although it's not hard to imagine. The part I have difficulty with in this scenario is that this hypothetical family of five is all watching completely disjoint shows, and none of them even happen to be on the same service. Birthday-paradox-type calculations would show that's pretty unlikely. Not to mention this family sounds... very isolated.
FWIW everywhere other than public roads the smallest traffic is held to the highest standard (i.e is expected to look out for and plan around other traffic). The rules are basically only go where you're allowed to go (don't walk on railroad tracks and don't be the wise ass who drives the mini-fork lift into the office to deliver the mail) and when you encounter a different type of traffic yield to everything bigger than you. For example: If you are on foot and get hit by a fork lift it's on you. If your forklift gets hit by a truck it's on you. If your truck gets hit by a mining dump truck it's on you. If your mining dump truck gets hit by a train then it's on you. (Obviously these examples don't hold in exceptional circumstances.)

The reasoning behind it is that the smaller the traffic the more situational awareness it has (no blind spots on a pedestrian) and the quicker and easier it is for it to adjust what its doing to account for other traffic.

Public roads have a much more complex set of rules and large swaths of them are usually ignored in specific situations and in general there's a lot more ambiguity over who should do what.
> Hell, actually require you to wear a device at all times so all conversations can be recorded.

The government could similarly demand backdoors into people's private devices, so people can be listened to and their usage of the device recorded, in case they might be up to no good.

I see essentially no moral difference between banning E2EE and banning security of devices. If you have no right to communicate secretly with a person, why should you have any right to communicate secretly with a possession?
You're right - I mean, they don't have a monopoly in delivery of "any" entertainment being delivered to you, which is why I use cable/fiber for internet and nothing more. I know many people feel the need to have live broadcast and choose to continue paying their cable/fiber provider for content. So far they have not added additional fees to my internet bill - only when I subscribe to TV content.

So it's somewhat in the hands of consumers to stop paying cable/fiber for TV, within the limits of monopolies on content people feel they need.

I'm not blaming capitalism or saying it's a bad thing. I'm saying - we want better options for consumers to win here.
I observed this as a cyclist as well and I don't know why. I'm a fan of Japanese cars, but 90% of the cars that endanger and almost sideswipe you are Japanese or Korean subcompacts. The other dangerous ones are entitled German luxury car drivers or the occasional pickup redneck but those are much rarer.

That puts them in a weird, paradoxical position:

1) Illegal: Placing a mark on your tires that will quickly fade with time and invades your car just enough to reveal whether you adhered to the limits.

2) Legal: Monitor the area with video surveillance and take pictures of every license plate that ever parked there, with timestamps and a photo of the occupants, and store that information for eternity, to be shared with any LEO who wants it.

(2) feels a lot more invasive than (1), but courts consider (2) okay because it just uses stuff visible to the public, while (1) actually physically modifies your car.

Edit: See also the conflict with the long-standing, uncontested practice of leaving a fingerprint on a car's tail light at the beginning of a stop before observing any wrongdoing that warrants such a "search": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19730452
A few of the points mentioned (eg. guarantees and interest payments for the pipeline, or paying to prepare the harbour for increased oil tanker traffic) are pretty direct subsidies though.
