You’re evaluating the benefits and drawbacks renting and owning, taking our economy and laws for granted. This is different from what I was doing, which was comparing the economic value produced by landlords to the money they are paid for it.

1. Assuming risk is valid. However, it only accounts for a small portion of rent.

2. You do not actually have that kind of commitment. You can sell the property. The only risk here is that you cannot make a profit when you sell it, so this is nothing more than a repeat of point #1.

3/4. Access to use of the property would exist whether or not it had a landlord. The landlord is not providing value here, merely using the power of a government-granted monopoly on the land.

5. Land is not fungible and there is a limited supply. You are granted a monopoly on the land that you own.

6. The reason the initial investment is so high is because local laws are generally put in place to protect the interests of homeowners, over the interests of renters.

7. The improvement only accounts for a small portion of rent.

> I'm sorry, but I completely disagree with your restrictive definition of what of "rent" represents. Rent is compensation for my years of preparation and self-denial of the reward for my own personal labor.

You obviously don’t feel sorry, but you are benefiting from a system which is rigged in your favor, and building capital on the backs of people who actually provide value to the economy. That’s not to say that you are not providing value to the economy—it’s just that the value you provide is much smaller than the amount you are paid for it.

Consider, for a moment, the reason why rent may go up in a particular area. The main reason it goes up is because of the economy in a particular area. The economy makes the rent go up because the people living there are more productive—not because the landlords are more productive! So the landlords are being compensated for other people’s work, when the rent goes up.

> If you are mad at a landlord for having to pay rent, then dig yourself out of that situation.

I wouldn’t get mad at leeches, mosquitos, or other parasites. They are merely making the best out of the ecological niche that they arrived in. But I’m also not going to feel sympathy for parasites, nor am I going to care whether they feel guilty.
I think India opted to err on the side of caution. Now where is required or possible, the lockdown can be eased. Opposite strategy would have been far worse.
The process for getting a death certificate usually takes a couple of weeks to a month or so. And normally, for natural deaths, there is nothing to be reported to anyone.

But during lockdown, reporting is to be done immediately.

> Do any greenhouses grow meaningful quantities of staple crops? This is far outside my area.

None that I know of as its unlikely to be a good idea outside of a breeding program because of the opportunity costs; I imagine staples like wheat/rice/potatoes confined to such limited scale/size would not be able to recover the costs if profit from yield is the only source for ROI in its current model.

> I was trying to suggest greenhouses for staple crops like rice or wheat, so that the overproduction margin for famine years could be significantly reduced rather than totally eliminated.

Perishability is an inherit and unavoidable factor, and famines are not uniform throughout the Earth which is why I think optimizing the Global Food Supply Chain, rather than entirely abandoning it is the goal; the Citrus Industry in Florida nearly collapsed a few years ago due to a psyllid issue that destroyed nearly 1/2 of Florida's orange groves [1], only to find out in PR (after failed studies in China and Mexico) where topology differences revealed that its preferable to grow citrus at higher elevation to avoid the disease they were seeing below that--after a certain elevation, reported at 600M, the groves weren't as susceptible to infestation from the psyllid.

Having data, metrics and analytics in place accessible in Real Time in a readily available and comprehensible system for producers to work with is critical moving forward in the 21st Century; adapting an Ag model to suit this is no longer a luxury but has become a necessity if we have any chance of surviving on this planet as Climate Change, and nearly unpredictable weather patterns/disasters are becoming ever more prevalent and even more severe.

Again, the opportunity costs in not addressing this problem is so unbelievably immense to anyone who takes the time to just look; we can see the 2 million chicken culling and its subsequent waste and be outraged--and it would be justifiable--but more importantly I hope it serves as indication of what is seen as common practices and serves as a catalyst for change as this cannot go on any longer without severe widely felt repercussions.

The presence of LDS has created a diverse array of counter cultures in Utah. It's really a fascinating place.
On my side, here's how I configured my mac.

Workspace at the top level.

- cmd+f1..f9 --> Switch to workspace.
- cmd+ctrl+1..9 --> Also switch to workspace (because fkeys are removed and the touchbar is terrible)

Inside each workspace, I use one app in full-screen.

Workspace 1 = IDE
Workspace 2 = Terminals
Workspace 3 = Browser
Workspace 4-9 depends (Spotify, debugger, etc.)

For each app, I switch between tabs using cmd+1...9.

So intuitively, to jump somewhere, cmd+fX to go to the right workspace, then cmd+X to jump to the right tab. For instance, I know my database logs are always in the first tab of my terminal, so: cmd+f2, cmd+1. (On the mac with touchbar, capslock+cmd+2 then cmd+1 (as capslock is bound to ctrl)).

I try to keep this nomenclature everywhere as much as possible. For instance, in Chrome, cmd+1..N jump to the right tab. I configured vscode to do the same. I also disable any transition animations.

For me, this is so intuitive and fast that I have a hard time using 2 monitors as it's faster to jump to the right place than moving my head around or to find the app using cmd+tab.

Finally, where it makes sense, I sub-divide some tabs in tiles. For instance, my "web server tab" is often divided in 4 tiles. Or my IDE is split in various tiles with the files I'm working on.

I used a similar approach back then when I was using stumpwm on linux and tried to bring it back to my mac with as little configuration change as possible. (I only have to map caps lock to ctrl and tweak a few hotkeys to switch workspaces).
when people normally die, the first ritual is the blowing of a very loud horn in front of their house for an entire day. Haven't heard that in weeks.

Could people be hiding deaths due to the stigma around COVID? Quietly taking their loved ones' bodies out of the neighborhood for funerals?
Then the question is, is 0.00....1 equal to zero? We use the definition of equality above and we say yes.

EDIT: The number above seems well defined. It's lim n->inf (10^-n). That's zero.
Please Google, just because my browser is in Berlin, that doesn't mean I speak German. I'd like to look at your product. I might even be interested. But I can't understand what you're telling me.

I have language preferences in my account, and you definitely know who I am because you're showing my picture in the top right corner.

So why does where I am take precedence over who I am?
Right, we can't have it both ways:

Either Asian countries are lying because they are extremely advanced in their population centers and also authoritarian, which would be the only way for it to be news.

or

Asian countries are lying because they have the exact same organizational dysfunction as every country in 'the west', and also authoritarian, in which case it isn't news.

so which is it folks, superior technology cohesive culture and leadership, or organizational dysfunction no different from the west.

I was born in France, so grew up with one of the weirdest ISO layout: "AZERTY".[1]

The worst offense is not even A-Z but rather symbols — take the key "ù" for instance: it's a non-mod key that is used for 1 single word in the entire French language. Literally, ONE WORD in the dictionary. And you need to Shift that 'ù' key to get '%'. How stupid is that...

I won't even comment on the weird 'M' position, which shortens the bottom row (index hits no letter, it's a symbol...) Like WTF, seriously.

Also, top row requires Shift for numbers... (no modifier yields symbols...) What a strange, impractical decision. Every number requires pressing a modifier, but underscore or '&' do not... Sure, yeah, OK.

Should we talk about period '.' requiring a Shift, but not ';' No, no we shouldn't. It's not like a period is common in language...

I thus call it 'weirdest', because it's as far as it gets from ANSI, and it has to be the worst ISO I've ever tried altogether. The question is, why do it so differently? Why not change as little as necessary based on ANSI? Was it a misguided sense of cultural appropriation? Did they like torturing typists and programmers alike?

So one day, as I was learning programming, I decided to stop fighting my keyboard, to preserve my sanity (and limit RSI).

QWERTY US (ANSI) is simply the best for tech (IT, prog). Not necessarily inherently (although it's very good for language), but because of the chicken-and-the-egg: most software is designed by/for US companies and programmers, so symbols like e.g. []{}|/ are used in programming, bash, tools, because they are easy to use on a QWERTY keyboard. And I vastly prefer the 1-row wide Enter to the inverted-L shaped ISO style (less RSI-inducing on the right pinky).

For non-US programmers, there's life before, and after switching to ANSI-US. I'm not even kidding, it's a life-changer in simplicity, comfort (ergonomics) and generally intuition— e.g. there's a reason why ()[]{} are close by. And it lets one buy keyboards anywhere (you'll always find QWERTY, but good luck finding ISO-XX in country YY.

Thank you to anyone who read this. I hope you feel the pain. Now revel in the fact that you weren't born in France and did not have to suffer the computer illiteracy and impractical engineering design of an entire generation before you.

/rant

I don't know if French AZERTY is funny or appalling, I'll let you be the judge of that; I just need to vent 25 years of frustration every now and then, even 10+ years later.

If a JS developer doesn't work or understand JSX, they don't understand the fundamental concept of JavaScript which is what an expression is. "if you know JavaScript you know JSX" - JSX is just a JavaScript expression. There is nothing more to it.
I think a lot of folks may succumb to a 1-up mentality to become the most knowledgeable, best at something, to keep pursuing that interest to no end. Maybe folks like that just enjoy the pursuit more than the activity.

I suspect that people that become deeply interested in something that their pursuit of it appears all-consuming also end up having that interest be a part of their persona. It defines them.

People approach a hobby like running and maybe they just assume the end-goal is running marathons. They have to have the best running shoes, heart rate monitor, sport watch with GPS, running shorts, special headphones, etc. Maybe you'll enjoy running just one mile in a pair of discount running shoes.

Its ok if you have a different level of interest in a hobby. Maybe you have 5 different hobbies you are interested in and like the dynamic nature of switching to a different hobby when you get a little bored with one.

>Do you really believe you're infallible? And that I and everyone else is infallible too? Or was that just your sarcastic spelling?

Not a misspelling. A misuse of a word. Can we move on from this?

>So now are you finally willing to share any of your great ideas and experiences, since you admit that you'll never get around to actually implementing those ideas yourself? What do you have to lose by sharing them, then? And if you refuse to share your ideas that you'll never implement, then why did you even bring them up in the first place?

The topic of conversation is viewpoint and in my opinion viewpoint is not an example of a good visual programming language as it's not even turing complete. I illustrated my thoughts on what a good visual programming language would entail. That is the topic.

Whatever your background is, great. Whatever my background is it doesn't matter. I will say it's not as illustrious as yours and I have not implemented a visual programming language for a best selling game. Either way credentials have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I don't care about the timeline of things and the real topic at hand isn't who made a better photoshop. The topic at hand is visual programming languages. I made a comment on my thoughts about viewpoint and what I thought about what a visual language should look like. It appears that you disagree with me except, none of my thoughts were addressed. I just mostly see credentials of everyone being mentioned everywhere.

I'm willing to talk about visual programming languages but I'm not going to introduce my idea to you because I don't know you and you haven't been very friendly to me. Additionally I only want to introduce it at a point in time when I have the resources to be very involved with the project if that ever happens in my lifetime. I'm not going to just give it to you so you can run with it.

Also it's not that great of an idea anyway, it wasn't brought up to be talked about, it was just "mentioned" is a better word for it. Likely it will never get implemented as I don't have have the time to get it working. Visual programming is an interdisciplinary field that requires expertise in programming language theory, user interface design and graphics programming. My specialty is just web, so while I'm learning those things on the side because I'm interested in those things, whether all of that coalesces into a visual programming language remains to be seen.
I don't want to sound snarky, but... is this really it? I haven't looked through SICP itself, and have no formal CS background, but it always seemed like SICP was treated like a forbidding rite of passage. The Python version, if it's faithful to the original, seems pretty lightweight.

No. The immune system is incompletely understood and staggeringly complex. It’s not a single performer or a band: it’s a symphony. You can examine individual parts to your heart’s desire, but the true nature of the immune system arises in the emergent properties of the system.

Your “first level” is something we already do with primary and immortalized cells and it can be a useful model. Your next level would be called co-culture and it also is something we already do. These can be static cultures or connected to flow systems or bioreactors or whatever. These are imperfect models, but they can help to yield useful answers for questions in the model’s scope. The closest fidelity to human immune systems would be animal models, and the closest of these would be Rhesus macaques, and indeed these are used for vaccine development.

I think the use of classes was just some sugar to help OO and Java people (like myself) into React components. They're not really classes in the useful sense, and I found my components littered with functions that returned blobs of JSX that felt too small to be factored into full "classes".

>people's lives can be ruined, or at least set back years or decades by controversy that stems from private information getting into the wrong hands

Private information "getting into the wrong hands" often seems to be an issue of misplaced confidence in the confidentiality of that information. In an era where "surveillance is democratized," how we think about the existence of "private information" might radically change. In your example, the words, actions, and ideas that would have generated controversy might not have ever been spoken or acted upon in the first place, or there would be such an apparent abundance that the "controversy" wouldn't hold ground. More of a fringe position here, but maybe certain ideas and actions wouldn't even be conceived of in a post-privacy world, as the result of the loss of an expectation that those ideas or actions could be kept confidential.

It certainly feels like the cat's out of the bag when it comes to mass surveillance. Facial recognition, for example, isn't going away, and there doesn't seem to be enough political / institutional momentum to counter the value that is provided to organizations by the data that one might view as an invasion of privacy. There doesn't seem to be a meaningful debate about maintaining personal privacy, so maybe the discussion should be who has access to these tools, systems, and institutions moving forward.
> If so, `f` does indeed have a limit from above that is `false` and a limit from below that is `true`. Where do you wanna go from here?

That's the other way around. From above you get true, and from below you get false.

Note that 0.999... represents the limit from above for 1-eps. Hence the result is true.
