It's the idea that if someone doesn't like something, it doesn't matter if others do.

In my town, a typical midwest college town, we have suburbs, we have more urban areas with smaller/older houses in row neighborhoods. We have apartments galore, and condos in downtown areas. A bit of something for everyone. Expecting a community to "evolve" means losing something of this. Other than young people who want to live in the downtown area, nobody wants to give up their homes. Apartment living is no fun with families.

And this is normal America. These cities can't be re-designed, can't really evolve. New cities, sure. Build them that way if you can (though I think the market won't support it), but expecting existing cities to evolve into urban worlds with no cars, great public transportation, and centrally located jobs and services won't happen in the majority of US cities.

Interesting comment they made about using C89 for portability. What's the state of C99 today? I know gcc doesn't support all C99 features, but what about other compilers? Is it worthwhile to use C99 in a new project?
Most of those exploits are from plugins. If they aren’t using those they can also change the default login url. Also Wordpress lets you export and reimport to current versions without coding. I think it’s one the best future proof platforms, most of the web still runs on it.
No, that is reductio ad absurdum. He is simply saying that things which are too predictable are easily gamed, and this changes others' behavior in a game theoretical sense. Irrationality can have utility: see the "Ultimatum game."

Its pretty easy, your standard of living declines and sucks.

I grew up in a single family detached home in Queens, NY in the 80s as the shift to bigger condos and rentals started. The newer buildings are almost always shoddy and ugly, and dealing with landlords for property issues suck as compared to the homeowner.
Moxie said at his C63C talk that they were planning on getting rid of it as soon as a practical solution was found.
A nitpick on that solution (that no longer applies to me, because I no longer use an Android device):

It isn't persistent. Signal always defaults to secure messaging, which caused me regular headaches when I used it. More than a few people I knew installed Signal, used it briefly (or not at all), and went back to sms. Signal would always default to sending securely, and I'd always send these people a message that they'd never see, because they were no longer using Signal.

After some time I'd realize they didn't get it and would have to resend as an insecure sms. Missed more than a few time-critical communications because of that.

I really, really wish they'd made it a per-contact default I could have set.

Another reason to use a library is once you write that left pad function yourself, you have to go copy it around from project to project whenever you need it, then fix or improve it and copy the changes all over again. Second time you do that, might as well pull it into a library. And now you have a library that you lug around, might as well host it somewhere. In a few short decades you roll your own package management infrastructure and fill it with all kinds of useful things like string concatenation subroutines and macros for flow control primitives built on jmp instructions and stuff like that.

Might as well shortcut all that and see if there is something in standard library or in an existing package...

What's the name of this mythical city?

If the condo complex is sufficiently unattractive, few people will want to live there, and prices will fall to the point where buyers or renters accept the low price and the associated hassle. That's a market decision. If the condo complex is, let's imagine, 50% lower than market, then maybe people will accept the parking situation.

and there is no transit available anywhere near there

Then residents might try demanding it from the city government.

I mean, I don't live in SF, but I spent a pretty good chunk of change to buy a house in the Boston area because I can't rationalize living in, say, northern New Hampshire, regardless of the savings. I value other things more that just don't exist there.

People want to live where there's culture and work. Why should they not?
If that’s the case - which I don’t doubt - why are we encouraging home ownership at all? One of the key metrics the article presents is the drop in home ownership. Wouldn’t encouraging renters be a potential solution?

> 1) made for high-income dwellers, thus not reducing prices, because the high-income and low-income housing markets are often effectively separate markets, like cars and semi-tractor trailors.

That doesn't seem right to me. Sure, the develpoers will have incentive to build the largest profit earning housing, which right now (because of a huge housing shortage for all pricing ranges) means building high-income housing. But a high-incomer earner that buys those stops competing for the fixer-upper middle income housing so that's good for other price ranges too. What's more, at some point you run out of high-income earners that will buy your expensive newly built property which requires dropping prices on existing built property _or_ starting to build the next most profitable housing, which is less profitable than before but you don't have a choice.

Now arguably, for all that to happen it takes time and the ability to build a large number of housing units, both of which may not be an option so I'm fine as a compromise to require for certain percentages of new housing to include tiers for lower pricing levels, as a requirement for the housing permit.

> 2) the people living nearby, do think it will drive down prices, including the price of their own house, which is their only effective form of savings.

There is a point where, as a society, you need to decide what's more important: giving existing owners 50%+ returns on their property or supporting new families moving in. As usual the answer is somewhere in the middle but I'm willing to bet it would go a lot against the current situation that the existing owners enjoy. After all, owning a house provides a lot of other benefits so as long as the increase in value covers for the cost (interest + taxes + maintenance) it seems fine to me.
Yeah this is interesting. My Tesla M3 does similar behavior, and so I often am ready to punch the accelerator. In the Tesla, this is how you solve that problem. The driver's push on the accelerator contraindicates the AI's decision to slow down, and so the car follows the driver's direction.

Where it gets dicey is the scenario where the "imminent collision" (hazards on, seatbelts tightened) detection is triggered, and the driver continues to push hard on the accelerator. Tesla has a fairly lengthy statement in the manual about this scenario. The bottom line is there are all kinds of heuristics at play that may or may not result in an override depending on the specific sequence of events.
What happens when the market is prevented from increasing supply by property owners collectively setting rules that prevent sufficient further growth?

Nah, I don't think this is such a big deal. Adding a row to a table is much easier than creating a table from scratch. And Frontpage's output isn't that noisy -- I had to go through that experience myself. That said, my old Frontpage from 2005 (which I copied from Win XP probably) still works fine except for a warning it throws at start about not finding some registry value. I wouldn't want to use it any more (it doesn't understand CSS and screws it up), but if I wanted, I could.
How to prepare for the coming market crash
If you were using an Android device frequently I'd say it's worth it at the current price, I actually cancelled it a few months ago trying to save money and lasted about a half hour before I reactivated. When I first installed it they had it (they might still) so you could have a free tier for a small amount of SMS messages. I used it for 3 or 4 and then paid for it right then. My only other option at the time was to use Hangouts (gross). My Chromebox has had Google Messenger support for quite some time now but I don't want to use Messenger on my phone as I prefer Textra.

Aside from using it for SMS via my Chromebox (or less frequently my Win10 lapto, Chromebox is my daily driver) at my desk I also:

- use it to quickly send someone a photo from reddit/imgur just by saving it and attaching it instead of firing off the link (so I know they actually look at it)

- Use it to send YouTube videos and pages from my phone to my browser at home and it just opens it in a new tab there. I actually use this several times a week for when it's something I want to give my attention to but am out and about doing something.

- To mirror phone notifications in my Chromebox/laptop browser. You can select individual apps to do this. I mostly just use this to quickly scan messages if I'm watching something on YouTube or in a Reddit thread.

It also works fine with Grammarly on my Chromebox (Dunno about the Win10 machine) which isn't a big deal but I like getting anything I type on that machine counted in my weekly Grammarly stats because I'm a nerd.

My only complaint is sometimes SMS will just hang sending from your browser, if you unlock your phone they then send. I imagine I could fix this by changing the appropriate power saving features in Android but it's not a big deal, just a half second finger swipe on my phone.

It can be insignificantly buggy sometimes, it'll be blank in Chrome but maybe 90% of the time if I just click out of it and then click back into it, voila. The other 10% of the time switching tabs corrects it. That could just be my Chromebox though, I've never see it do it in Win10.

Respectfully, with about 30 years of driving experience and some years (fortunately long behind me) with crazy mileage, it sounds like you're wrong, and that experience includes Canada (including winter), a very large portion of the United States, Europe (both East and West) and Latin America.

People are great drivers if you take into consideration the conditions that they drive in, and that traffic deaths include all vehicle types, not just cars.

Yes, cars are safer than they've ever been. But there is also much more traffic than there ever was (both because there are more people, people are more affluent and some countries have been more or less designed around vehicle ownership), and infrastructure has not always kept up, and - again, in some countries - the car as a status symbol translates into 'right of way for the best protected', which leads to unnecessary accidents.

The number of deaths is - indeed - not the right metric to evaluate driver quality, instead, the number of deaths per total number of miles driven is much better, and further breakdowns into occupants, pedestrians, motorcycles and so on should be made before drawing conclusions. And on that scale - again, taking into account the conditions that people drive in - they are doing very well indeed, some countries excepted.

My own best tricks to avoid getting into accidents: don't drive when there is ice / snow / excessive wind, never drive when you're tired, stay away from countries where driving is a bloodsport, keep your car in excellent shape and never ever drive impaired, and that impairment includes cell phone usage.

FWIW I'd be totally for a law that punishes cell phone usage while driving with immediate vehicle confiscation when spotted, as well as instant revocation of the driving license of the driver.

You cannot create an account or sign up via web app. But let's put that aside.

You can ONLY sign up / register / add one device.

Not "at a time", even. At all.

You use your tablet, your phone disconnects.

You use your computer, your laptop disconnects.

You switch from laptop to desktop a few times, and now it's suspicious and gives you additional difficulties or bans you outright (that may or may not still be the case, but was when I tried this nightmare of an app a year ago or so).

You can only have ONE mobile and ONE computer device, at best, if you're lucky, and stars align, and it's second Tuesday of the month and the moon is full and you sing praises to Garmunklee the demon of impractical communication methods. Trying to access it on work and personal laptop; work and personal phone; or on phone and tablet; all is completely outside the supported use case and is for all intents and purposes impossible.

Compare to old-school ICQ, AIM, any XMPP, or Hangouts or indeed email etc, where you can seamlessly transition communication from device to device - and even check your messages on trusted public or 3rd party device such as friend's computer - and it's like waking up in a twilight zone.

It is pretty much the most architecturally user-hostile system I've encountered in my life, but again - I'm clearly in 2,000,000,000 vs 1 minority here :D

You're right. That's a good argument for funding schools with sources besides property taxes. That system intentionally subsidizes renters by getting home owners to pay for schools and tasks people who aren't concerned with the funding to make decisions on it.

edit: YES, it's a nice plan to just raise rent to cover the school taxes. However, unless you are in a popular market, your rent prices may not bear the increase. Example Northeastern PA has cheap rent because there are so many places available, and thus the $4000/yr in school tax portion of the property tax is not able to be passed on to renters.
As I spent half a day trying to wrangle my way through some sass grunt compiler frontend bullshit just trying to update the colour of some links on a client website, I find myself nodding sagely again. In the early days you could view source, see what was going on, copy and recreate someone else’s site, learn a whole bunch of new stuff and actually get shit done. Now, it’s all JavaScript bullshit and 100k lines of css. It’ll last about a month before it’s out of date and replaced by the Next Big Thing. HTML, css, a sprinkle of JavaScript. That’s what’s proven to last.

Thanks for the feedback.

It is a tool intended to help create bas-relief even by novice users (wood workers and 3d-printing artists) even on mobile devices. It outputs something that can be 3d printed or milled. Directly at the right dimensions. In browser without installation.

Bas-relief is a specific artistic technique which is fundamentally 2D, that's why I am hopeful that it should be possible to avoid learning complex 3d tools. I reckon that my soft feels encumbered. Most of the time you just need to use one button "Make Relief".

Snapping and increment are a good idea, thanks.

It can take some malformed objects typically used by animators and make it into some solid volume.

I am not aware of where this functionality is provided. I have found something quite similar in a 2013 blender plug-in "bas-relief add-on". Do you have some explicit link ?
What’s the fastest way to figure out the average existing fatigue levels and serum ferritin levels in the hundred studies so that I can quickly disprove my hypothesis?

I’m not saying it causes an illness I’m saying if you have a certain subset of illness it increases your fatigue. It also hurts your hands but you aint never gonna believe that ha ha. Iphone 7s are the worst.

I’m getting better and so is my tolerance to er so I’m not overly concerned about myself.

It’s the millions of other edge cases wrongly labelled as whingers by the medical system that I feel for.

ER doesn’t cause fatigue it exacerbates it in certain people. I better look at those hundreds of studies to figure out why I’m so wrong about this.

I don’t want to sell anyone a tinfoil hat or phone case and reducing exposure to er at night is great for sleep and CO2 emissions so why wouldn’t you.

Others worship versus how my people worship
It seems that Amazon stores (or some franchise) could act as a good proxy for launching / improving these products - imagine running a store, and lining up products to be "test driven" in store, with all the drivers licenses and check ups one might want. I can happily imagine trying out a fairly wide range of electronics - others may prefer shoes on Thursday or Fly traps on Friday.

TBH, retail is supposed to becoming "experience" based so this might be a runner. If someone tells me Jeff's mobile number I will persuade him.
yep, the goto example is doing something completely different and less than the exception code, of course it will look more messy.

I'm not sure "very different" is a fair characterization. The two are closely related:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_structure

An algebraic structure on a set A (called the underlying set, carrier set or domain) is a collection of operations on A of finite arity, together with a finite set of identities, called axioms of the structure that these operations must satisfy. In the context of universal algebra, the set A with this structure is called an algebra,[1] while, in other contexts, it is (somewhat ambiguously) called an algebraic structure, the term algebra being reserved for specific algebraic structures that are vector spaces over a field or modules over a commutative ring.

Examples of algebraic structures include groups, rings, fields, and lattices.
This isn't an unsolvable problem, There were existing solutions that solved these concerns that were struck down.

The issue is not about restricting people from making a political statement, or even restricting people from being paid to make a political statement.

But if you are being paid to make an advertising or political statement, you should be required to disclose that you were paid to make the statement.

Not surprisingly, we already have laws which require this for advertisements through FTC regulation. The FEC is working on something similar for political ads, and there's even a bipartisan bill from Klobuchar and Graham no less;

> Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) introduced the 2019 Honest Ads Act, which would mandate disclosure of those paying for online political ads and create a publicly available database of political ads that appear on major online platforms such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, Snapchat and Twitter.
