Most hotels will store your luggage for you if your flight is after their checkout time, but it's pretty rare to find an Airbnb that will do the same. I used one of these services in Denver last week and it saved me from carrying around my bags for 5 hours.

Another possibility is if, after checkout, you want to hang out somewhere where it wouldn't be convenient to go back to your hotel to pick up your bags before heading to the airport.
This solves a problem I've had frequently while traveling. Very cool.
Really poorly secured wireless interfaces that can be hijacked by 3LAs.
Huh. I feel the same way in the opposite direction.

People move from their home states and rural areas to nice areas with civic services and permissive cultures, and then continue voting and advocating for the same policies and ideologies that led to their home being unwanted in the first place. I live in liberal areas that see a steady influx of people all the time, and distressingly large amount of them seem to complain about two things: The ineffectiveness of government (including the underfunded ones they left behind), and Liberals. I'd laugh if I wasn't so concerned about the displacement of my home cultures.

Makes me want to say something like, "if it smells like shit everywhere you go, stop shitting all over everything you find."
> people are taxed on their total income and companies are taxed on their profits. This is a huge difference.

Arguably not. The progressive tax bracket system means that a bare minimum amount of money (up to the lowest threshold) is available basically tax free to cover necessities and then everything above that is effectively profit for an individual. Living in an expensive house, eating expensive foods, raising a well resourced family aren't really expenses in the sense that businesses have expenses. If they were like business expenses people would try to minimise them, whereas most people I know actually try to maximise those costs when you look at what decisions they make. I've never convinced anyone with arguments that they should move into a cheaper house to save money. In that sense, both systems are philosophically the same but people have very low necessary expenses.

Almost an aside, but taxing people only on their savings would be truly bizarre. Someone measurably adds more to the economy than they consume and they are the ones who get shafted with tax? Ethically a case could be made, but practically the incentives are so nutty I'd hope it doesn't warrant serious discussion.

Taxing corporate revenue rather than profit would cause price increases and act like a consumption tax. Certainly possible, but that is a regressive tax policy and generally frowned upon.

I run a startup that analyzed litigation and judicial opinions. We can figure out what arguments are made, which were persuasive to the judge, which judges conform to the mean and which are outliers.

The long term potential is to make justice less expensive by being able to evaluate cases more cost effectively. It can also potentially identify judges that are outside of the norm.

I don't see a problem with this as long as the system is just identifying what is successful and normal. However, if judges themselves start using it and adjust their decisions, there is potential for it to create feedback loops that can move the norm into towards something that is not necessarily just. So this system can be used for good as long as there remains an independent check on it (i.e., independent judges).

This concern is not hypothetical. Today, judges are already using tools that calculate average prison times for offenders based on previous rulings. That should not be allowed as it creates feedback loops and bakes in earlier biases. However, the public should be able to use those tools to evaluate their legal position.
The only one that I found questionable was item 5, because they specify Puppet, which is a legacy server configuration system that is not particularly great for cloud anything. Ansible or Terraform would make far more sense.
> I believe the state officials proposing this are cowards and going after easy populist targets, so they'll never dare to act consistently and target athlete pay for exactly the same reason as executive pay.

The reason is that executives decide other employees pay; the rule doesn't cap highest-paid-employee pay but executive pay. Higher paid athletes don't set the salaries of lower paid athletes.

Is the stuffed ear thing like when a plane changes altitude? That makes people nauseous? I used to dive a lot so I got this a lot but I have never heard of people getting ill because of it. Maybe it is a different feeling but from reading the comments it is like that? I am weird though; I can play VR games forever (I played Skyrim VR for 6 hours straight last christmas while my friend who was over this week had to vomit after 15 minutes) and I like the popping feeling in airplanes. I also do phone calls with full noise cancellation on my Bose 35 headphones for hours and do not recognise the feeling from any description here. I do suffer badly from car sickness but not any other movement I tried. Diving + playing in a metal band when I was young really messed with my hearing (bad tinnitus etc); maybe that is related?
> Almost an aside, but taxing people only on their savings would be truly bizarre.

It happens all the time, it's called property taxes.
The sprawl has massive hidden costs; it's a similar situation to stadiums. The city centers end up paying for it, but not reaping the benefits in tax bases / revenue.

The housing costs - while they do have a lot do with policies that prevent massive new construction - also have a lot do with a lot of people moving and wanting to move to these places.

So, question for you: What about the blue state policies is that results in their economies being good, so that these problems exist in the first place?

> All people are born vulnerable to being beaten up and coerced by the guy with the biggest club. There is no "inherent" freedom in nature.

Sure there is! You are not prevented from grabbing a stick and defending yourself by some artifice. You might lose. Or win. And you are free to make that choice.

In CA if someone comes at me with a baseball bat and I have two sticks tied together with a short piece of rope to defend myself I can end-up in jail. I once asked a police officer friend (LAPD Commander, actually) what I could legally carry in Los Angeles to defend myself and not get into trouble. He said "your best pair of running shoes".

The whole thing is preposterous. What ends-up happening is that lots of people secretly conceal-carry because they don't want to be victims. They do the math and conclude they rather go to jail than be dead. Truly sad.

I would absolutely sympathize with you, if this were a true story. Believe it or not, I'm not a registered Republican, after all. To be fair, I've never heard of conservative folks overtaking a liberal city, only vice versa. If you have a true story to share, I'd love to hear it.

Instead, it feels like you're just reversing everything I said for argument's sake.
There's a tendency for masses of people to eagerly follow strongly-opinionated people. I think such qualities are a big warning sign, especially if they're dramatic, engage in all-or-nothing thinking, unconvinced by evidence and/or put their ego / being "right" ahead of everything and everyone else. Furthermore, there's a tendency for people to get emotionally-attached to "their baby/pet" project and reject anything that doesn't fit with their delusions of grandeur. IMHO, assertive, honest, respectful and professional folks who lead projects tend to attract better quality contributions and sustain development long-term than jerk dictators for life who may ragequit at any time if they don't get their way.

This is very wrong. Drive the 5 sometime. Outside of LA/SF it gets very red, very fast. Even within those areas it's only the centers that are truly "blue"; (AFAIK) Orange County is particularly conservative, for example, and it's always been my impression that places like Marin, Palo Alto and Orinda are the same way. It's where the term "California Republican" came from.

A dream is a totally incoherent result of random fluctuations, but it seems real and coherent until you wake up. A Boltzmann brain only exists for a very short period of time — on that small of a timescale, your existence is really just a single instantaneous snapshot of a state of mind, and there’s no time to recall a sequence of memories or think through logical propositions. Even though existence feels coherent, that feeling would be just a false memory.

Because this is believable based on recent years filled with all kinds of quality issues, from counterfeit products shipped side-by-side with genuine ones up to Amazon doing absolutely nothing against various shameless review tricks (for example I haven't even found a way to report such cases anywhere, so to me they're clearly not even interested in doing anything - EDIT: what is visible is a button for me as a private, logged in customer where I can setup a seller account right between product description and automated suggestions...no report button though).

As a "self proclaimed" centrist, this is well stated. There's nothing wrong with anyone's line of thought, they obviously hold it for a reason. Problems only arise in this arena when one group tries to force beliefs on the other. A hunter trying to convince say, Chicago, that guns are good is going to have a hard time. Same with the Chicagoan that tries to convince a hunter that guns are bad. Neither are wrong, in reality...
Something else to add is that when you don’t buy through official channels you actually may end up with counterfeit parts. This is a huge issue in the electronics component industry.

So it’s entirely possible that what Amazon sources on the grey market were actually counterfeit items (whether or not they know it for sure, or care to to know).

It's very easy to tell you're not a Boltzmann brain. As long as your consciousness lasts more than a few seconds, you're not a Boltzmann brain. A Bolzmann brain appears in the vacuum of space and will quickly die due to the vacuum and not being in a body.

Help me understand this. People go to an Airbnb, unpack their luggage, then take it (or have it picked up) for storage elsewhere? And when they are ready to go, they get it back and pack?

I'm basically a minimalist packer, so if this is what people actually do, it's very foreign to me.

It is unfortunate that Americans always propagate the story that the US system is still special, but I guess the thought is part of the self-image ("we are the greatest country in the world") . It's not 1788 anymore. Yes at the time the US constitution was special, but the world moved on and many countries took inspiration from the US constitution. Generally human rights (as for example defined by the UN declaration of human rights) are considered universal or natural rights and are enshrined like that in the laws and regulations of many countries.

That said, that does not mean we (or governments) do not regulate the rights, take your example of right to bear arms, you are not allowed to bear nuclear arms, or rocket launchers, so there is regulation.

You still get the benefits of increased property values due to strangling supply in the face of demand. Only with prop 13 you stand to net even more money, and if your dad gave you the house he bought in '70 you are taxed like you have a little shitty 20k house in boise.

ffmpeg / libav had lots of bad blood long before the fork, which might have been the real driver for making it a "debacle".

GitHub in particular has a "fork" button to make it super-easy. So fork, do your edits. If you want, make a pull request with the original project. If they take it, great: the fork can cease to exist.

If they don't want to merge it don't take it personally but go your own merry ways. And this is what didn't happen with actix.
Also, SF is both a city and a county; if you compare it to the sum of other cities' budgets plus their prorated share of the county budget, it's a lot more in line.

Still, SF does have to pay a lot more for workers these days thanks to its self-inflicted housing shortage.
I watched the video. A few good points: should everything really be a file? He used the example of simply talking to a USB device on Linux without libusb involving a bunch of snprintf to construct a file path, and then a big bunch of ioctl. Setting up a device apparently requires creating a bunch of magic directories and magic files and magic symlinks and mounting magic filesystems... I feel that he has a good point about this. Not sure how Plan 9 does this better though.

Besides, he also talked about how I/O was blocking, and even when non-blocking I/O was available it's still synchronous until the recent introduction of io_uring. Windows appears to do this "right" with its completion ports. This part of the video was much less convincing, IMO.

There's probably a reason they have to tout that, right. I think one of the most reliable lines I've encountered like that is "I don't like drama". People who say that tend to always be involved in drama, which is why they have to verbalise that they don't like it in the first place. I also do not like drama, but I don't verbalise this, but rather I just avoid it.

If you have to say "dont be a jerk", rather than just do it, what does that really say?

I don’t think that argument really works. The theory is built on statistics, the anthropic principle, and rejecting implausible coincidences, so you can’t reject the coincidence of the existence of the universe while accepting the (apparent) coincidence of random memories being somehow coherent.
