> An older Arizona law might offer a template for other states looking to balance private property rights with local public interests. Rather than chipping away at specific local restrictions, the state passed the Property Ownership Fairness Act in 2006, reframing the question of regulation in terms of eminent domain. If a local regulation diminishes the value of land by imposing new limitations on the use of the property— such as increasing the minimum lot size or changing the zoning to lower-value uses—the jurisdiction must compensate the property owner for his loss. Arizona’s approach helps achieve a middle ground, where neither the city government’s mandate nor the landowner’s property right is absolute.

I'm not so sure that's a good idea. On one hand, I like the general principle of fairness at work and that a person shouldn't have to absorb the loss of the value of a major asset simply because of an arbitrary rule change. On the other hand, I don't think governments should have to pay costs associated with fixing bad rules or addressing an injustice. Also, if government has to pay for rule changes that reduce the value of a property, should they also receive payments from property owners when a rule change increases the value of a property?
Warning: I am not a climate scientist.

However, I have to disagree that humanity has to leave the planet, or that it's impossible to fix. I will agree that it's very unlikely to be fixed or mitigated to a decent amount before disaster happens, but that's because of politics and human stupidity, not because it's not possible.

More CO2 in the atmosphere doesn't have to equal higher average global temperatures. CO2 holds in energy from the Sun. So the answer is simple: decrease the amount of sunlight. There's already ideas of how to do this, such as "solar shades". Basically, put a bunch of things in orbit that block some of the Sun's light, so less of it strikes the atmosphere. Now, even with the higher levels of CO2, less energy is entering the system that will be retained by the greenhouse effect. Of course, planetary engineering ideas like this are megaprojects and would require huge amounts of money to do, and probably international coordination, which seems unlikely given the terrible state of world politics at the moment.

Hi Hackers,

We have been hacking on a social network enabled music player that makes it easy to discover and share music from friends and family - the idea here is that sourcing the music from people that you like to hang out with provides a differentiated music experience.

Any feedback is welcome

Thanks!

That is a counterfactual because it hasn't happened. If it did happen, scientists would look at the evidence and adjust their theories because that is what scientists do.

Exactly, this is a recurring theme regarding Revolut which hits the media headlines frequently, how Revolut also sucks when the shit hits the fan. I guess there are also similar stories in case of Stripe too.
His book, "Can't Hurt Me" is really good. The audible version is what I have. With the Audible version you get commentary between the author and David etc. Adds tons of value imho.
The very low precedence of & is the source of an unbelievable number of bugs, especially in embedded programming. For example:

if(PORTA & 3 != 0)

looks like it should be true if either of the low two bits is set. But actually, it only fires if the low bit is set because this resolves to PORTA & (3 != 0), which is PORTA & 1.

Some C compilers will warn you about this. Embedded C compilers are not usually the sort of compilers that are nice enough to have these warnings.

As a bonus, different languages handle precedence of &,|,^ differently: Python, for instance, binds & more tightly than ==.
This is complete nonsense. First of all, there has been and still is plenty of research on gender differences and even differnces within the LGBT spectrum from biochemistry to psychology. Genetics is the same with all kinds of insights coming up about alleles related with personality changes, autism, OCD etc. We even know about genetic factors that contribute to different drug efficacies between people of different racial backgrounds. (edit:) And that's just the stuff I know about. There's so much more out there.

What this article and other "dark web" people are doing is trying to play the victim and contriving a boogeyman. Just because science isn't shouting "omg women are inherently submissive" and "oh black people are better suited to manual labor", "dark webbies" make it sound like someone is suppressing research into any such area. Finally, climate change is real and people should get over it. If you look within the scientific community there's a huge range of diversity on opinions on every issue, including climate change. It's just not of the type "dark web" enthusiasts would like it to be because it's constrained by actual facts and not fantasies.

By the way, scientists tend to be left-leaning in general. It's not like there's some force out there "pushing them" to act like lefties. And no, the general leftward tendency of scientists doens't negatively impact research, because science isn't political. Climate change isn't a political issue, and neither are any of these other so-called "points". Science is about learning how nature works. The scientific establishment certainly has some flaws, most notable being the publish-or-perish regime that dominates many fields. But this dark web stuff is total nonsense that's only there to justify shitty beliefs or make people feel special and part of some "cool", "rebel" outsider group without having to put any work in.

Edit: oooh looks like i made some dark webbers salty. Downvote as many comments as you want, everyone is onto this charade. If you care about objectivity, fairness or justice then stop looking for boogeymen and easy narratives and focus on trying to make a difference for people who need help.
> Also, if government has to pay for rule changes that reduce the value of a property, should they also receive payments from property owners when a rule change increases the value of a property?

Don't they already through increased property taxes? In fact, if some rule reduces the value of their property, perhaps the best compensation would be a property tax reduction or even rebate?

Find your "currency". By currency I don't mean money, but we all do things for different reasons, and a lot of time money isn't the one that will motivate us most, those reasons are our currency.

Some examples of things that I do to keep me motivated:

- Not letting people down, motivates me more than how much money I can potentially make (money motivates me later). So I tell lots of people what I am doing.

- My ability to do things for people in my community is also a motivator for me, I find a way to tie what I am doing to a goal there too. This isn't always as easy to be fair to find it as my community is rural and not high tech in anyway.

- Kinda like with the first point, I also like to find early customers and make some basic commitments to them which motivates me as well. I'll make commitments super early in the idea stage, that pressure makes me more motivated to push through. And I setup future meetings early on so that I have to show up and talk too someone about it, which means I don't want to be embarrassed so I'll work harder.

A lot of people use the act of telling other people what you are doing and knowing they will keep asking you for updates as motivation. I definitely use this as you can see.
Okay, when you originally you wrote you were effectively paying 2–3% in fees on every transaction for this privilege [the buffer between your actual money and the merchant, quoting the post you were replying to], I took it to implicitly mean every credit card transaction.

If what you really meant is that the cost of the credit card transaction is implicitly in the price everyone is being charged, then sure, I see your point -- except that I think it actually strengthens the original poster's argument for using credit cards! If you pay $25 for a widget in cash and I pay $25 for the same widget on my credit card, then we're literally both paying the same price, but I'm getting the ostensible benefit of using the credit card and you're not. (I would actually argue, unlike the OP, that this is mostly true for debit cards as well, in that you still have a bank fighting to get your money back in a way that isn't true with cash.)

Thank you Lex. I think your podcast are the most interesting in the internet. But...

Readings books is awesome because you are getting the condensed knowledge that someone have spend maybe decades of their lives to compile. When I listen to a podcast the same applies to a lesser extend. The problem is Lex does not ask interesting questions. He dwells into philosophical and common questions i.e "What is the meaning of life", "is math invented or discovered". This questions are interesting but are not in the guest field of expertise which in turn causes them to give a generic response. This devalues the quality of the podcast.

> If someone came up with novel and valid research that disputes some specific claims of climate change I'd wager the research would have a difficult time being published and the author would be considered to be a denier.

Not if backed up by data. I believe that we had this recently with the fact that one of the temperature measurements was off and stuck out. Eventually they traced it back to calibration on sensor platform.

There is a VAST difference between the science of climate change (does it exist and what caused it) and the politics of climate change (what should be done about it). The deniers always want to conflate the two because the science is basically unassailable.
I've lived in the bay area for a decade, in the south bay, east bay and SF and have a partner who's lived here even longer. For a housing market, they are pretty much the same place since they are all within commuting distance of each other. Of course there are local variations, just like within SF itself, but it's all within a similar range.

And there is a lot of single family housing in SF alone that can be converted into 6 story apartment buildings. Plentttyyy of space available for the demand. By-right up zoning with a 30 day limit on permitting processes would do miracles for housing affordability here, but the Olds want to profit off the immigrants and cast their neighborhoods in amber.

Also the cheapest form of housing construction as far as sqft and price / unit is the fourplex. Housing cost is mostly land price & bureaucracy here, not the cost of construction, so many developers will find 6+ floor apartment buildings feasible.

As others have said, there are no rights being eroded by him having his account terminated by a private mailing list company.

Whatever you want to think about him, the content he produces does promote white nationalist ideas, as well as other negative alt-right and anti-SJW views. Whether he genuinely believes what he says or just does it for views is irrelevant, his dog whistles contribute to the radicalization of his viewers, often young white males. He is a stepping stone for viewers to other even more radical ideas, like "the great replacement" and "the Jewish problem". Engaging with him just gives him credibility, which he does not deserve.

This is a thoughtful, well-researched article, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. My one criticism stems from the notion that the Taiwanese single-payer system is tantamount to "Medicare-for-all". Not only is this a gross oversimplification of both models, it requires making comparisons that just don't make sense. A more compelling argument would highlight specific attributes of the Taiwanese health system, and map those to relevant U.S. counterparts.

For example, the VA health system would be a more apt comparison if we're talking about a single-payer system operating within a common regulatory framework (all VAs are on federal property). If we're considering funding vis-à-vis taxpayer vs. employer contributions, the Taiwanese model starts to look more like Hawaii (maybe also Oregon). If we're interested in a solution that is known to scale up to 25-30 million individuals, it would be best to focus on the regulatory landscape in the state of New York. Factoring in the flexibility of higher-income individuals to purchase supplemental insurance, the Taiwanese system looks most like traditional Medicare (i.e. fee-for-service) in combination with a supplemental insurance market. Of note (and to the best of my recollection) the "Medicare-for-all" plan championed by Bernie Sanders specifically outlaws private insurance in order to avoid a scenario where we end up with a two-tier system (i.e. one for the rich, and one for everyone else).

TL;DR: A single-payer system is not Medicare-for-All. Single-payer solutions in and of themselves do not inform how we, as a country, should resolve the substantive policy differences inherent to our patchwork regulatory landscape without undermining states' rights and/or ballooning our national debt.

This analysis is only partially correct, but it echoes what is the (mostly) prevailing wisdom of the last couple years about "what went wrong".

To start, we actually did have a success: Gulf War I. It was an overwhelming victory, with extensive enemy casualties and minimal allied losses. It's strategic significance was not what it did to the US position in the Middle East however, but rather what it did to the General Officer Corps after the fact. All of the Cold War battle drills had worked exactly as planned (giant tank battles in open terrain, with CAS on station to mop up any stragglers). If you think for a moment about the kind of conformation bias that proliferated after that, then not having much of a post-game in the following wars makes a little more sense.

Also, we didn't really impose "our" system of government on Germany and Japan, but rather grafted aspects of it onto their existing infrastructure, occupied them for a long time to ensure that those aspects were set in stone over a generation, and then essentially kicked them out of the nest when they were ready to fly in orbit around a US-led Bipolar world.

Thus, the difference with Iraq II and Afghanistan after the invasions is not that we "botched" it, but more so that the coordination mechanisms in place in societies like 1940s Germany and Japan didn't exist in Iraq and Afghanistan (I'll caveat this by saying this is much more true for Afghanistan than it is for Iraq. Iraq had a mostly modern economy, with functional hierarchies of government and civil service, but was very cultrually distant from the US in ways that set it apart from Germany and Japan). Meaning, it was just straight up easier to do these kinds of things in Germany and Japan, overwhelming victory aside. I don't think I need to go into a detailed history of Afghanistan to illustrate why.

The real "problem" is that we don't have a clear understanding of what the hell we should be using this military for anymore, after the Cold War ended.
I really like that chocolate story.

Aren't a lot of topics already taboo in science/academia? I'd say cancel culture has been in science for a while now. Afterall it is part of academia.

Didn't a female brown university professor's study on transgenders get "canceled" because it offended some people not too long ago?

Didn't Bret Weinstein, a biology professor, at some college in oregon get "canceled" not too long ago?

Didn't Jordan Peterson get "canceled" not too long ago?

> Our list of speakers includes no women. (All declined our invitations.)

The fact that every woman they invited declined to give a talk is a huge red flag.
that perception is everything. no matter how good you are, but if your work doesn't get noticed by the right people, then your career will suffer. People with good social skills who may be mediocre developers will move up much faster than you, and you will think why is it that you get left behind?

Example: You're a senior supporting your more junior devs whenever they run into trouble, and you hardly get credit for it because the business side doesn't even realize it. All they see is tickets moving.

I've kind of learned this the hard way and even before learning it, I actually luckily took advantage of this without even realizing it in a previous job.

Make sure that the work you're doing is credited to you in front of top brass. But you can't be too overt or braggy about it otherwise it will get annoying to your coworkers and then you will suffer. It seems like an art form almost.
I work in an office currently but did the coffee shop thing in grad school. That would be my work environment preference honestly; something about the ambient background noise / environment and knowing none of those people will interrupt you. (Actually, my office has a coffee shop within in and that is indeed where I sit most of the day when I’m not in meetings.)

I am an extreme introvert though and could go just fine for weeks without interacting with anyone, so if that’s what you mean by “weird”, then yeah, I guess so.
> I am a firm believer in climate science, but this reaction suggests that the post you're replying to is correct.

Sorry, there are things in this world called facts. There are things in this world that are empirically correct. As far as science can determine, climate change is factual and real. If that isn't your position, you really don't believe in climate science. And I'm calling you out on it--this isn't a "truthiness" zone.

The climate politics, aka what should be done about it, is a very different problem and falls under social and economic "science".
