Tech isn't really a solution to this problem, but maybe some outside of the box thinking could setup a newer framework that would help.

If private lending doesn't want to back this project, even if there isn't 'strong competition' (at least 5 lenders willing to accept the land within a city as collateral), then the government (whichever layer values the land the highest) should be willing to be a buyer at that value and that should be the collateral for a loan at median market rate.

Automating that process and making it easier for consumers to check that data is a natural fit for tech.
"Nevertheless, the fact is that there is nothing as dreamy and poetic, nothing as radical,
subversive, and psychedelic, as mathematics. It is every bit as mind blowing as cosmology or
physics (mathematicians conceived of black holes long before astronomers actually found any),
and allows more freedom of expression than poetry, art, or music (which depend heavily on
properties of the physical universe). Mathematics is the purest of the arts, as well as the most
misunderstood."

CF cards do wear leveling, which makes them much better suited as hard drive replacements than SD cards or USB sticks.

I used to run YellowDogLinux (now famous for “yum”) on my last (17”) PowerBook G3 and had triple boot with ClassicMac emulation along with MacOS X Lompoc. F’ing mainboards blew several times on all of my non-plastic PowerBooks and MacBookPros, except for the latest, which just had its keyboard and screen replaced (and its second keyboard is going out again). Some of the machines had broken DVD injectors, memory sockets that would come short (the real reason they solder it now), lots of them have had power supply issues. They always want us to buy the next one which is supposed to fix the thermal or mechanical or whatever.. My favorite was the MBP+LG UltraFine 5K that would reboot when a shortwave operator keyed up the mic. The guy from HP who specializes in Chinese supply chains and runs Apple now is an iPad Pro power user and it shows. Just buy iPad Pro —if you develop for them, then switch to Flutter and add an Xcode-server to your network.

It's probably a matter of personal opinion and choice and opportunity.

Berlin has a tech startup sector (supposedly) almost as big as London. So whether it's a good place to start a company may not matter: if it is where all the jobs are, and I need a job then I'm there.

I do Fintech, so I'm looking at a niche of startups. That pushes me to Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris and Zurich as those are the (non London) finance hubs in the EU. But if I saw a job where I could work remotely or where they were based elsewhere, I'd go elsewhere.

I actually just started working remotely for a company technically incorporated in London. So once I pass probation etc, I may go to Germany to master my German. But as you indicate, I'd find a place with good work life balance and low costs and opportunities that suit me. Not just blindly walk to Berlin. :)

ARM was publicly traded between 1998 and 2016. In that period its value multiplied about 25x, not counting the premium of the acquisition. Could you elaborate, please? Where do you see the disaster? (Honest question).
It says a significant bit more. Not even seeing this is a symptom I guess.
Your efforts were appreciated, and it sounds like they made a difference even if you weren't entirely successful.
On top of that, multiple sources from social media and news organisations paints the real picture of what's really going on and exposes a particular narrative and who is omitting information.

The real danger is getting your news from a single social media or news org source.
I'd rather say that the rest of the world needs to pay more attention to Ovid, as evidenced by this thread. If open source branding helps with that, more power to it.
Sure, but imagine you've paid for it and they come out with more interactive components, but your language ecosystem then isn't part of that because they don't have the capacity to cover every environment. A curated marketplace would be a smart choice imo.

This isn’t really what I was saying when I made that comment (in a personal conversation among a small group of friends).

I love that other people are building things on top of Tailwind and I think it’s great. I was only describing my own emotional state and how much pressure it makes me personally feel to finish our commercial projects, and how stressful it is to feel like there’s not enough time because my time has to be split instead of being able to just focus on the commercial tools.

Purely just me commenting on my own stress and being vulnerable among friends, not any sort of commentary on the ethics of other people building things on my OSS.

I always have taken a shower every day and was every time using shampoo to wash my hair. The result was that my hair was very dry and difficult to handle. I tried to fix this by using conditioners but this worked only a little bit.

Then a hairdresser advised me to stop using shampoo every day so I tried and the result was amazing. Some people were even asking what kind of shampoo I had started using ..
But I did notice that never using shampoo makes my hair too greasy in the long term even though I wash it with water every day. So now I'm using shampoo only once per week and I'm very happy with the result.

> They eat a diet consisting of almost exclusively reindeer meat.

Very far from a typical meat diet (quoting from your link):

"The dietary habits of the Sami differ from those of the other Finns. Reindeer meat (low in fat) and fish have been important foodstuffs in the diet of Sami people. Intake of vegetables and fresh fruits has been low, but berries were eaten, especially by the North Sami. Although nowadays dietary habits have become more similar to that of the rest of the population, still more than 90% of male Sami reindeer herders eat reindeer meat at least 3 times a week and almost 50% eat fish at least twice a week. Reindeer meat and fish contain high concentrations of healthy lipids, trace elements (e.g., selenium), minerals and vitamins. Arctic people usually rely on blood, liver or kidneys from animals to obtain adequate nutrition."

You don't publish! Every page you write is already available at the URL you see in your address bar. This said, it's not indexable or findable until you yourself share it somewhere. UUIDs are long enough to be unguessable.

The eye at the top switches the page into preview mode, which is currently very similar to the edit mode. You'll notice the difference if you use Twitter embeds.

All you can do right now is create pages and subpages of rich media, true. Surprisingly, this was already enough for me to start writing much more than I used to before Brick. But we have more features coming, of course (collaborative editing, etc — see the bottom of the landing page).

What are the BBC missing at home, do you think?
This is what I would like to suggest:

1. make it respond fast to input (it is super annoying that some textboxes are not pure native textboxes anymore and have deep javascript logic behind that sometimes I see characters popping up slowly as I type!)

2. avoid low contrast between text and background (it's hard to read your light gray text on white background)

3. make it clear what a button is and what a label is (a blue label being a button on iOS)

4. avoid wasting screen space, stop making fonts huge unnecessarily (if you wasted half the screen size by couple of words or there are big empty spaces where is your content really, what are bigger screens good for then)

5. stop designing desktop UIs like it was a smarphone (scrollbar should really be big enough to move by mouse and handle should have contrast to the slider; I am not touching my desktop screen or scrolling by swiping and hopefully never be)

6. for text content (descriptions, articles, comments, etc) stop preventing right click, copying text or messing up with clipboard (like appending some garbage at the end of copied text)

7. stop inventing original design widgets no one asked for and it is not immediately obvious how they work and easy to use / just an additional option (I have seen many toggles where it was unclear whether they are in On or Off state; or widgets lost ability to be controlled by the keyboard; or date fields which I could fill in in 2 seconds by keyboard but they forced me to spend minutes by selecting year first, listing months, finding the day in some unnecessary calendar popups)

Thank you.

One thing to be careful about is using a influenza as reference. Influenza is a segmented virus. The viral genome is composed of 8 separate segments. In the wild new strains occur due to reassortment where the RNA sequences from two separate strains are shuffled to produce a third. That makes influenza annoying because it's regularly swapping in RNA segments from bird and swine influenza viruses. Makes developing an universal vaccine impossible and occasionally you get nasty novel strains like in 1918.

Single stranded viruses are a lot more stable.

Spacevim is not an editor, that would be vim/gvim, which works fine as you said yourself. Spacevim is a collection of configurations, basically a plugin, and those are working on VS Code as good or bad as on any other editor.

Well, the numbers for Western Europeans should decline because a lot of people won't bother anymore, considering the harsher residence requirements and the numbers for Eastern Europeans will go down because in many cases they won't even qualify for visas at all (just like they don't qualify for US visas now, in many cases).

The real question is: will blocking this immigration also make the powers that be redistribute wealth more to the poor natives? Time will tell :-)

As I said in my original comment: wouldn't you expect the majority of the economic effects to hit after the economic situation changes? i.e. when British companies are suddenly subject to tariffs when exporting to Europe at the end of the year.

This product might appeal to someone who hasn't had an e-ink reader. Many people wrongly assume the experience with a Kindle will fatigue their eyes the same as reading on their phone or computer. In fact, it's very easy on the eyes.

I haven't owned another e-ink reader, but I've had a couple of Kindles and they offer a lot more than just downloading and storing books (although vacation readers like me appreciate those features too).

- Built in "backlighting" which is actually coming from the sides of the screen. Easy to read in dark rooms or direct sun

- Change fonts and font sizes to suit your preference. Near sighted readers can increase the font size. Open dyslexic is available. Now they're allowing user fonts so you can bring almost any font to the experience.

No web app is going to be better than an e ink screen. Reading a book on your phone is hard on your eyes and reading book on your desktop is way too clunky.
For cellphone networks it's not just a provider-side incentive, as inbound traffic will drain battery and you'd have no good way to stop it. But this only requires some sort of spam filter to be in front of the cellular link, like with a friends-based system where you keep connections to some friend's online nodes when you lock your phone, and just exchange IP+port info on both sides to just send a UDP packet to each other's IP+port from your own IP+port, punching your firewall. Theoretically you might even actively control your firewall to allow closing it off and also maintaining some permanent open entries for your friends to reach you with no indirection from their usual network(s). A provider could make money by selling (quota for) provider-side user-controlled firewall entries, and you could have your OS give out quota to apps.

It's feasible once you reach the point where it's worth the effort of implementing.
> joe editor

JOE is one of the most versatile TUI editors out there. It can emulate not only Wordstar, but Pico/nano, and Emacs. It has full UTF-8 support and can display pretty much any character in any written language.

These days I just use nano for simple, quick command line editing, but my writing machine (2000 era Dell Latitude CPx with Slackware) has JOE for long-form writing in Wordstar mode. Like the article author there's no need for internet or other distractions, just boot to terminal, log in, open JOE, and start writing on the fantastic keyboard.
Patreon required binding arbitration in case of certain disputes and promised to pay certain fees, then pissed off a creator, who couldn't do anything. His backers could, though, and several thousand of them requested arbitration.

Paying the arbitration fees several thousand times will be a real strain (the total sum is in the millions IIRC), and the working hours won't be easy either. So Patreon tried to group the disputes together, which failed a few days ago.

Now some creators are worried that Patreon might break down and take their money along (ie. the money that Patreon collected last month and would disburse next month).
"mainly to check the chemistry between a potential new-joiner and the team members"

"Chemistry" is just an excuse to allow unconcious bias to run rampant IMHO. New hires shouldn't need to enforce the existing culture of the team you have by matching it.

They should be adding to it, not neccessarily emulating it.
All you need to believe is that an increasing sequence, bounded above, converges. (Indeed, take the supremum of the sequence, and show that the sequence converges to that supremum.) Alice's sequence is increasing, and bounded above by 1, so it converges.

Certainly both players have infinitely many chances to influence the limit - it's an adversarial game! The point is whether Bob can force a win against Alice, and it turns out that if the set S is countable then Bob can.
His recent blogs (i.e. July's) suggest actual progress!
I'm sorry but I'm finding it very difficult to see how this isn't straight up propaganda from the BBC.

>The number of deaths from coronavirus in Iran is nearly triple what Iran's government claims, a BBC Persian service investigation has found.

This is false. There is a very important distinction between confirmed deaths due to coronavirus, and deaths of people who may have shown some coronavirus symptoms. One is clearly an undercount, one is clearly an overcount and they aren't measuring the same thing. So to publish on your state broadcaster a story deliberately mis-representing that fact is a bad move.

The data even shows that the confirmed coronavirus deaths track proportionately to suspected coronavirus deaths - actually showing that it's highly unlikely that the numbers are being manipulated.

If you go here: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ the UK government gives the exact same measure that Iran uses as their official number.
Galaksija: The Lost History of Socialism's DIY Computer
Blood donors in London ~17%, rest of UK ~10% in July; 45k deaths for <20% antibodies (which may or may not mean immune)... seems to me that without a lock down the UK at least would have been looking at 200k deaths before getting close to herd immunity. I'm not ok with that myself, but of course opinions may vary.
Its not just Autodesk, all big software shops tend towards low innovation. Look at Adobe, ESRI, even Microsoft office etc. Core products often haven't changed appreciably in 20 years - the business/money isn't in innovation, it is in having proprietary file formats that are industry standards and bundling big packages of software together that makes it hard to shift off the platform.
Yeah. At least a month ago Roam was unusable for publishing. A page can take literally 5 min to load.

Roam also doesn't let you have several workspaces/databases, I think.

In my experience, I actually /want/ different things in my life (notes, diaries, public writing, etc) to be in different places. I even have several note-taking apps for different contexts, even though the feature sets are very similar.

I know that for some people, being able to have EVERYTHING in one place is an awesome feature. But for me and possibly others, it's the opposite.
