This is still available as a covenant, which encumbers the property deed with restrictions on use. If a bunch of neighbors on a block decide to do encumber their own deeds, they can.
That’s easily solvable with park and ride sites. I’d argue the biggest issue with implementing this is a no-can-do attitude, because it’s actually a positive feedback loop which needs to be cut without remorse.

The root of the word is ‘rob’ which means a slave. Robota is ‘slave work’.
No one advocates that you should only speak if you lived it, we say that those who lived it must have a say if that is in any way possible.
Your observation is curious to me, perhaps it was worded confusingly.

"I noticed that the same people who ... actively ridiculed it (just like I did) were the same people who would casually say things like “Oh those Indians screwed it up”..."

So you are saying that you noticed that if someone actively ridiculed these things before, that they were casually racist. I assume that you were not casually racist when you actively ridiculed these things.

So this means 3 or 4 things to me:

Initially, my first thought is that you admit that you yourself were part of the first group but deny the label you assigned to the second group to yourself.

In other words, it seems to me that you are making a generalisation of people's characters which is inaccurate as you yourself admit that it's inaccurate.

Or perhaps its okay to generalise if most of the people you observed had this pattern of behaviour, because it doesn't mean that the exceptions (including you) prove it false?

Or... is it that you were part of both groups 5 years ago and you and most people in the first group have changed over time to both accept these new terms and stopped using casual racist talk?

I just sold an internet product I built that contains both “Whitelist” and “Blacklist” rules.

I didn’t think anything of it at the time. I added the names a few years ago.

However I also grew up in the 80s and Dukes of Hazard was still a popular enough television show that I was specifically not allowed to watch it by my mom for reasons I did not understand at the time. [1]

As far as changing language of the rules in the product I built, or would build I have no problem using something neutral.

Software developers are used to deprecated language. Function and class names are changed for any number of reasons, sometimes just because they are inconvenient to spell.

If some people feel that Master Slave, or Blacklist Whitelist constitute micro aggressions, then why put up a fight to switch to neutral language?

Just deprecate the syntax and return the narrative and focus to problems developers can overwhelmingly agree are getting in the way of establishing a more inclusive developer community.

Killer and master/slave are very different. "Killing" has rarely singled out one specific ground of people and subjugated them for centuries. In cases where it has, you don't use the word. Imagine naming a program that kills a bunch of processes on a box “holocaust”.

But let's run with "killing" for a bit. If, hypothetically, you had a coworker whose family was murdered by a serial killer, wouldn't you be careful about using “He killed it out there” and similar terms around them? Or do you sit around logically proving why the context is different?
The author has plenty of good ideological arguments but doesn't really seem interested in what the effect of eliminating single-family zoning will be on day to day life for people and communities. People like living in single-family zoned neighborhoods. People don't want high-density development in their neighborhoods. People leave behind exciting city lives and move to the suburbs because they want to live somewhere peaceful, boring, low-crime. Now someone wants to transform their neighborhood and make it look like those places they decided not to live in.

As for this guy calling himself a conservative, somewhere along the way, libertarians in America began calling themselves conservatives and forgot what the term really means. Conservatism isn't knee-jerk ideological opposition to any rules.
The pre symptomatic time wouldn’t be part of this gap unless the infected person got a test before symptom onset, which I believe is rare (most people who test positive get tested after they develop symptoms)
Related reading, on the social cost of cheap goods today: "The True Cost of Dollar Stores", in the current New Yorker [0].

What is the underlying system? In my interpretation, these low price vendors have succeeded in a market that is foremost cost-sensitive, both in terms of price and time. Eventually competition was priced out and now "dollar deserts" exist in poor neighborhoods. These vendors ignore "externality" accountabilities, in the Dollar cases in particular spending for customer and employee safety, in keeping with minimizing cost. The resulting situation, as illustrated in the article, I'll say is one of immoral public jeopardy. In these locales consumers and employees have no alternatives. It gets worse, because the vendors extract wealth from the communities without reinvestment. The margins, from a community perspective, are exploitative.

What are the characteristics of this system? A subsistence market cannot price safety and dignity into the cost of its goods. Margin-maximizing vendors can ignore it. Regulation and policy processes act slowly and undervalue safety, not to mention dignity. And returns for new entrant competitors are too low to make these markets a priority. I think this illustrates an systems cycle with a very few "winners" and many, many more losers.

The New Yorker article is an argument that the very least, Family Dollar and Dollar General, as businesses, should be ashamed of their conduct. That's a starting point. When you move onto interventions and incentives, to say specifically "what should the new policies be?", I don't know.

I'm open to changing any problematic wording if it came from someone that was genuinely offended by it.

However I am opposed to blanket changes like the one in this article not because of the wording itself but because the change is coming from the PR department as opposed to any actual minorities that might be offended by these words.
> The long term global economic effects, and possibly the death toll, are clearly in the same order of magnitude as a 20th century global war

According to the WHO about 1.3 million people die from Tuberculosis every year [1]. Another 400.000 die annually from malaria. 462 million are underweight, and 52 million under-fives are suffering from wasting [3]. Covid19 isn't even in the same league as famine and disease. Covid19 is serious but it's not a catastrophe, and it's just one of many things that the world has to deal with, and we can't let it hijack our attention and focus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R. That's the play that introduced it and it's looking like the word means "forced labour" rather than just "work". Which you could say is slavery.
The time for symptoms to show up is of roughly 2 weeks but the median time is at about 6-8 days. After symptoms show up, it takes a while before people get hospitalized, and then mortality seem to take roughly 21-24 days after hospitalization.

This means that from the time someone is infected until they die, a month and a half can have gone through.

By the time you take new isolation measures, you have to wait roughly two weeks to see if daily infection rates start to vary. But the lethality at this point, assuming no change in healthcare system overload, can be more or less statically predicted for weeks after the fact.

Those are called "lagging indicators"; the main thing you try to prevent are deaths, which you can lower by reducing the overload on the healthcare systems, which you can lower by controlling infection rates and keeping them low.

Due to the duration of the disease's evolution, you get to see if your policies really worked more than a month and a half after enacting them, which is extremely slow for a disease that propagates at exponential rates. So people look for proxies like infection rates that are still lagging, but far less so.

Do note that the one good metric you want in the end is going to be "excess deaths", which counts the impact of not just the diseases, but of all other side issues that the disease may have caused. This can usually take months up to years to properly account and analyze.
You would need to exclude most people from the room if you wanted to set good policy or have good discussion.

Is It Ethical to Use Nootropics to Improve Cognitive Skills?
Thanks! I love how enthusiastically you engaged the wrong-headed comments on this article. I'm often tempted to roll my eyes and get on with my day, but I really do think it's important that these statements aren't allowed to go unchallenged as if they express conventional wisdom.
Context does matter. A good portion of the U.S. believes that abortion is the same as killing children, but we aren’t changing tech companies, implementing codes of conduct, or devising newspeak to suit _those_ peoples’ political sensibilities, are we?

When the pendulum swings the other way, after we’ve normalized the complete politicization of our day to day institutions, will we all be okay with potentially having an opposing political belief system forced upon us? Or do we need not think that far ahead?
You can map layers using different sources. You need to use fromlatlng to do the mapping. You can define your source so long as you use the tile server protocol (TMS).

You don't need everything, you just provide the areas you want and layer accordingly

I'm on my mobile typing this but hopefully that's enough to get you started.

It should probably take less than a day. There's certainly nuanced GIS wonkiness, let's not pretend otherwise. But when I did set up a tile server I remember it being one of those things you think you simply cannot do without taking like 6 months of cartography night school, but then 45 minutes later it's done.

The domain specific knowledge requirements for standard usage required lightly scanning a couple Wikipedia pages. nothing serious.

Artist creates fictional universe and becomes exceedingly wealthy. Good use of time.

Group creates meta community to celebrate (or castigate) work of Artist. Good waste of time IMHO.

Artist makes public statements wholly unrelated to her art. Group demands Artist abide by Group's ideology even when speaking outside the context of her art. Dangerous precedent; flawed assumption.

Artist continues to produce art while Group protracts cultural neuroticism around Artist leading to loss of rational thinking within Group. Artist sleeps like a baby. The End.

If it helps. I'm a free market type.

We've been railing against zoning regulations for decades.

Here's an article from Mises.org (about as free-market as you can find) from 2010 railing against it:

-cough- pro-choice movement -cough-

(For the record, I am pro-choice.)
It’s possible for people to have other people who are more reasonable and intelligent represent their interests in an important forum.
If you’re surprised they’re not, it’s because you’re not looking. The actual free market enthusiasts condemn it extensively.

Go over to reason.com and search for their zoning coverage. Go to the AEI and find their report calling for the abolition of single family zoning. (I’d send you links, but I’m on a phone.)

The main difference between them and the more left-leaning types who hate single family zoning is that they’re not too big on replacing it with other zoning.
Stanford CS193p: SwiftUI iOS App Development. Been meaning to get into iOS dev for a while, but it’s frustrating because learning resources outdate so fast. This course is new though (as in ~2 months) and only teaches current stuff. (Just need to finish it before everything moves on to Xcode 12...)
Anecdotally, in Northern Wisconsin, GMaps is only slightly better than OSM on abandoned logging roads. There are a lot of private gated or abandoned roads and logging tracks which Google Maps will use for route planning.
But it’s not a chicken/egg problem! It’s just that you have to have the carrot before you can start using the stick.

People are just trying to live their lives. Inconveniencing vehicle users won’t actually change anything because they have zero power over the “vision” of their area and zoning. The change has to come from the city planners first.

I would love love love to not need a car. And my area is pouring millions in mixed use land projects to make it happen. It’s a decades long project.

Very much worth the read.

We do.
> I’m surprised that free market enthusiasts don’t see zoning laws as a limitation of freedom

I do. However, I grew up in Houston which doesn’t have zoning. When I lived in Jersey City about 8 years ago and was working on the Steve Fulop campaign, I was amazed at how vicious zoning and variance fights could become. Zoning and the fights over it are exceptional hotbeds of corruption.
No, these measures affect new cases, not the already ill - so you've got to build in those 2 weeks to display symptoms for those people who would or wouldn't now be infected.
I've seen very few people of color expressing their offense at the terms master/slave as used in technology in these threads here at HN, Reddit and on Twitter.

Many more people of color have said that they're not offended by the terms and that this is an empty-headed change.

So, what we have is a group of people who mostly aren't black, who are mobbing up to demand this change. Does that sound accurate to you?

Do you think setting a precedent of giving into these peoples demands is a good idea?
With brexit people had only one opportunity to vote, so it was possible to mislead a large number of them, about unknown things happening in the future. With a system like this they could change their mind as the situation changes, so agitation would not have the same effect.

As the saying goes "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time", so this would in fact be a safeguard against things like Brexit.
100% of the time, companies will do what is either cheapest or stands to make them the most money in the long run.

That's why you need regulations like minimum parking, otherwise companies would completely forgo parking if they could get away with it.

So it really does mean that they won't build parking.

That is a great book. There are so many things people don’t know, such has how FDR’s WPA tore down integrated neighborhoods and replaces them with segregated ones: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-federal-governmen...

> In Langston Hughes’ autobiography, he describes how he lived in an integrated neighborhood in Cleveland. His best friend in high school was Polish. He dated a Jewish girl. That neighborhood in Cleveland was razed by the WPA, which built two segregated [ones], one for African-Americans, one for whites. The Depression gave the stimulus for the first civilian public housing to be built. Were it not for that policy, many of these cities might have developed with a different residential pattern.

In this case, the analogy works even better because the puppet replicates exactly the movements of the puppet master.

DeFi Yield Farming and Liquidity Mining
I wonder if COVID-19 will have any lasting effect on housing patterns.

I used to be very pro-density in terms of my own preference of where to live, and I’ve never lived in the suburbs or in a single family home in my adult life.

I’m finding it very challenging while locked down though, it’s making me realize I actually do value having my own space that I can own and control. I’m pretty introverted to begin with but I’ve never minded living in a big building with a bunch of strangers, but now that I see many of these strangers doing things that potentially endanger my health like walking around without masks, having illegal gatherings, and begging the management to reopen our gym in the middle of this pandemic, my outlook has completely changed. Even once this pandemic ends, I imagine I will think differently about the trade offs and risks of living in such close quarters with so many people I don’t know.

This is not exactly related to single family zoning, but in the same vein I imagine if I had a single family home and someone wanted to build a huge apartment building next to me right now, I would be unhappy for the same reasons. I’ve always been morally against NIMBYism on principle, but to be honest this pandemic has really started to change my perspectives.
