>Are you seriously judging someone by their great-great-uncle's book?

Not the person you're referring to but barring exceptional circumstances the apple can only fall so far from the tree.

That said, I don't see why being raised by a family full of super hardcore leftists has more than a passing impact on his politics wrt petty crime specifically. He could just as well have fallen on the "we should go hard on petty crime because it undermines social cohesion and respect for the rules of the state" side of things (obviously that's not how he turned out for reasons that are well documented but you get the point).
"The problem is when people love low density cities and make it a great place to live. Then new people want to change it into denser cities with everyone living in apartments. Who should win out?"

How related is this question to the gentrification of poor neighbourhoods and cities? If we go historically, the newcomers with new money always win out via (often violent) eviction. See: The People's History Podcast regarding Boston's government-supported gentrification of its public housing.

I feel that if we would take the stand to be against sparse neighbourhoods being changed into dense cities due to increased population, we should also protect and support low-income neighbourhoods and public housing from gentrifying construction projects and income-related displacement. But broadly the latter is often viewed as a sad but inevitable phenomenon, and therefore I don't know why that same logic shouldn't apply to increasingly dense cities.

I think you mean "terribly inflexible regulations".
According to other comments on this thread all three of the names mentioned are already highly successful and financially independent individuals. I wonder if the high risk tolerance encourages them to focus more on the lifestyle aspects of this project (and if that is a trend we see in other startups founded by already successful individuals).

There is also something about well-off individuals taking investment money to get a fancy office rather then bootstrapping and keeping all the equity/destiny of the company themselves that smells funny to me. I guess its "free money" but I have to wonder if the products would be better if it was sweat equity instead.

We just had a Terrorist attack last week. He was armed with 2 knives and he killed 2 people before being taken down by some people with a fire extinguisher and a narwhal horn (I shit you not).

> As long as the pie is growing, it can hide or solve by default many existing problems

I think one issue with this analogy, is that companies have central points of authority but Western economies don't so much. For example GDP growth doesn't magically fix rising homelessness, and in the absence of central authority it becomes very difficult to address. People often don't like the idea that their "taxpayers money" is being spent on other people that aren't (currently) working.
Imagine his surprise when he wakes up in a simulated eternity that contains him, some hellishly hot fires, and a posse of demons sticking forks into him.

Of course it won't really hurt him; he'll be dead. It'll only be some copies of him that suffer eternal torment.

There's nothing new about such considerations, of course, and I don't think the article adds anything new, either.
This is actually not true. Chained books did exist but they were not the norm at all. The trend actually came far later when libraries were trying to appear old and important that they grabbed on to the idea and elevated this myth that loads of chained books existed in the past.
Contrast this with the website of CoreOS when they were in start up mode. It was all about their product and why it would change the world. CoreOS was perhaps the best startup of the decade in my opinion.

Your wish can come true. As our understanding of low-dose radiation improves, we can see that the prudent thing to do in most reactor accidents is to evacuate the area for a while (mostly to let the iodine decay) but then let people come back based on their risk tolerance. For instance, if a model tells you you may lose 10 days of life from living in a low-dose radiation field but you drive a motorcycle or eat red meat, you may be willing to move home.

> . It has only one element of green, that is low carbon, everything else about it is the absolute worst of all power sources.

Pretty blatantly false. Nuclear kills fewer people most, if not all other sources of power, per unit of energy generated.

There are significant pollution issues from mining and burning coal and from manufacturing solar panels. Hydro produces ecological disruption on par with non other. Wind power has significant and downplayed effects of wildlife.

The comparison of these factors is complicated and 'best' depends on what you specific environmental agenda is, but your rhetoric is flat out false.

Hardware is tricky. I work in medical devices and just went remote due to my partner's new job and move. There are a lot of things I can't do anymore. I used to be able to walk over to another desk and borrow $20000 test equipment for a day. Not anymore. I am sure you can do hardware dev remotely to some degree but there is a limit if you need expensive equipment. You can't just build a $500000 lab for every dev.

Software is much easier that way. I am lucky that most of my work always has been pure software so I will probably try to minimize tasks that need special hardware.
Sure, but I'm not sure the answer would be relevant. As an analogy, just because you haven't used your first aid kit doesn't mean you won't one day need it. To the contrary, we have many examples of countries that left the first aid kit behind only to realize they desperately needed it.
This seems to be true in the US as well. Getting exports is a pain, in fact I think during our first finance audit, we had trouble getting monthly exports past a certain date. I know for a fact that our current bank doesn't work with our expensing software, so that has to be done manually

In Spain the rate is 4.4%

Israel is not in Europe, but anyway the rate there is 10.3%

This indicates to me that the circle of people that you know is not representative of the population at large at least when it comes to health insurance coverage.

There's no need to infer statistics about the whole of Europe from your small sample size. All you have to do is look up† the data.

Here is a relevant quote from Jess' blog:

> Hyperscalers like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft have what I like to call “infrastructure privilege” since they long ago decided they could build their own hardware and software to fulfill their needs better than commodity vendors. We are working to bring that same infrastructure privilege to everyone else. [0]

Is this same infrastructure privilege an effective, internal cloud? From my experience with large internal cloud platforms, the problems are almost always organizational ones.

Regardless, I am definitely hoping that Oxide can provide a better experience. Maybe with centralizing all hardware into a single group, rather than have network folks do switches, another team do servers, and a totally separate group to do ACL's, etc. you could improve the experience of managing an entire datacenter.

I am currently doing an internship as part of my masters degree where I am analyzing ~30 GB of data. I'm using Postgres + Python and it is working quite well, even on my 2014 MacBook Air.

Well, small reactors have never been cost effective. In the 1950s we built lots of small reactors and they were terribly cost ineffective. We scaled up specifically to make them cost effective.

Today pro-small nuclear people are thinking economies of mass production can beat out economies of scale. Having read a lot of the history on this topic I don't think we quite know how to make this happen yet.

What we know works is economies of scale + economies of mass production, like when France decarbonized their entire electric grid by standardizing on large PWRs and building 58 of them in 15 years.
The fact that our healthcare system is messed up is not synonymous with getting rid of profit.

> ignorance and laziness

It’s not just ignorance. Plain ignorance is normally corrected by education. In the case of grammar and spelling, people actually get DEFENSIVE about doing things wrong. “I’m not writing a college essay, you know what I was trying to say” is a common retort when somebody’s spelling or grammar is pointed out to be incorrect. If you can’t even remember the correct rules of written speech in a single language (your NATIVE LANGUAGE), you really ought to step back and consider whether or not you’re really as smart as you think you are.

The factory/IT office still has to exist for the work to be doable. However, that doesn't mean that each worker would bring their own laptop or tools, anymore than companies require that today.

In the kind of socialist society I describe, you would win a livelihood by either finding a co-op which values your skills, or by trying to start your own co-op, probably by borrowing money together with others from some institution similar to a bank. Everyone participating in the co-op you helped start would probably take on not just the profits, but also some amount of liability for the loan.

Now, this change alone would greatly reduce the concentration of wealth, and so, hopefully, may free enough money to avoid the need for everyone to find a place to work or die of starvation. Still, even if that doesn't directly happen, the same mechanisms that apply today would still apply - a state-funded safety net, anti-discrimination laws, state programs encouraging employment of unemployed workers, education programs etc. I don't see why the bar to finding a place to work would be any higher if companies were owned by their workers instead of being owned by capitalists.
But we're not talking about first aid kits, we're talking about guns. And I think the burden of proof is on those who claim freedom of private firearm ownership works as an anti-tyranny deterrant to play around in the historical fiction realm of how Venezuela, Iraq, Hong Kong, et. al would have turned out differently with a more armed populace (remembering to factor in the possible scenario "Basically the same as it did, only with an awful lot more death when the entrenched military power ramped up the violence level to deal with a populace that could shoot back"). It's probably also relevant in that historical fiction direction to ask whether the "background" level of civilian peacetime death would have been higher or lower and by how much.

Ubiquitous firearm ownership in a society is a bit of a wildcard.

This mindset that crime shouldn't be punished is so strange to me. Why is it okay for someone to go around breaking windows and stealing stuff?

sounds like an impossible problem for where the only (dystopian) solution would be strong attestation of users identity by the service provider. not only would that too be riddled with potential mistakes. but as it is with all such cases, the service provider can't actually be trusted with such data (or managing such a process).

EDIT: this story sounds like trying to use the sex-offender thing to fabricated outrage. People who use these apps to "hook up" with strangers should be well aware that they might bump into all kind of bad people (some of them might be lunatics or even criminals). Having the service provider suddenly be in charge of attesting for the (lack of) character of its users sounds like a terrible idea.

The problem with cable was that it had channels and scheduled airing (and ads). We're in era of video on demand - I want to watch what I want, when I want. The problem is, paying for N shows individually is much, much more expensive than subscribing to a streaming service. So people subscribe - and get inferior UX.

Incidentally, after you paid for cable TV had better UX than streaming services today. You had one universal interface - your TV and its remote - and the UI was decoupled from channels and movie producers.

There is a sweet spot users want: one subscription and one UI, and for the two to be decoupled from each other.
