People living in the countryside have in most cases a far more sustainable way of living. Of course that doesn't scale infinitely, but that is a whole other problem.

My country has introduced a carbon tax to control consumer behavior. We already have the highest energy prices and have problems with skyrocketing prices for property. Our finance minister is probably delighted and my state will start to save nature tomorrow.

This is senseless activism. There won't be a change in consumer behavior, because people already try to minimize energy usage obviously.

Our energy tax already covers that. To connect that to CO2 emissions has some advantages, but also some disadvantage, because there a lot of other factors that threaten the environment. What is clear that it won't have an effect on consumption.

You can do that for all I care. I can live with increased property prices. But don't complain about lacking equity or equality afterwards. You wanted that yourself.

Noise and stress levels are also higher living in a city. This might be interesting for a religious ascetic and city planners invested in property prices or people jealous of people living where they want to.

This is way off target: "the kinds of neighborhoods that permanently reduce total driving"

People change jobs without changing where they live. It won't matter what kind of neighborhood a person lives in if the person still commutes a long distance.

Transaction costs are high. For a dense city, moving to a different apartment means losing rent control. Elsewhere, the process of selling and buying a house will eat up about 10% the value of the house. Switching kids to different school districts is often unacceptable.

The typical modern two-income household makes this far worse. Moving close to one employer just means moving away from the other employer. Cutting one person's commute just lengthens the other person's commute. Why bother?

AWS BugBust – Global competition for developers to collectively fix 1m bugs
> Having the courage to try stuff out is the biggest 'tragedy of the commons' problem we face

In capitalist economies, entrepreneurship (courage) historically is the biggest driver of job growth and innovation. It is based on competition in an open market.

There is no shortage of risk taking currently, if a proxy for risk taking is the an abundance of VC money flowing into businesses with growth but no profits. I have doubts on whether businesses taking VC money qualify as entrepreneurship though. I have the impression that banks loan to VC's much more freely than to actual entrepreneurs.

> if we collectively decided to try and take on our ideas , then the amount of quality of life unleashed by the successful ones would make what we today consider "striking it rich" pale in comparison

This is the China collectivism approach to capitalism and there is arguably way more cronyism and oppression in the regime in comparison. The government is more directly picking winners and losers.

However in western capitalist economies, the free market died in 2008 when the housing market crashed. From then on, the government is saying, "everyone is a winner" by pumping so much liquidity into the market.

> We are all guilty of it.

Guilty of what? Accepting the numbing effects of faux wealth? Propping up businesses of people "in on the know" to save jobs, when entrepreneurship is already a proven job creation engine?

There is an unprecedented flow of monetary supply going into the global economy, and we are well overdue for an actual recession because recessions have been demonized and politicized and avoided, when they are necessary to purge the froth and inefficiency in the economy.

>corporations voluntarily choosing to manufacture there

I'm not sure how true that is anymore. Companies trying to manufacture elsewhere have to cope with 101 issues that increase costs. Everything from JIT logistics not working to lack or workers to uncooperative governments. China is getting more expensive and some low skill work is going elsewhere. But for most companies, setting up elsewhere means prices much higher than the market will tolerate.

It’s correct, and higher is better, 7K2 is faster and often longer lasting somehow. Generally better built. Downsides are noise, power draw and thermal.

Rent control is amenable to government policy, as is the number of housing units built and necessary slack of free units for travel. Same with transaction issues, moving itself is cheap but can be further subsidized.

Various forms of carbon pricing are already implemented. There is for example a minuscule carbon tax in Germany and a carbon market in the EU. Naturally there are big enough holes in both that they're not particularly effective, but that is just because politicians are currently busy pretending to solve the crisis without implementing any solution.

I wish that anyone trying to teach logic would emphasise that there are many, many possible formal systems for any particular logic, and there is absolutely no standard. That way, confused readers won't end up on places like /r/logic asking "how do I formally prove this proposition in logic?" only to be told "we don't know what formal system you're using [and we don't even know what logic]." Or worse, readers will go on to write their own blog post telling more readers that the one system they happened to learn is the extent of logic.

So don't do this:

> there are 10 rules of inference that we can use in proving the validity of arguments

https://philonotes.com/index.php/2018/03/28/rules-of-inferen...

If there were just 10 rules of inference in logic, that would be really cool to know. But there aren't. There are infinitely many rules of inference, and many different minimal sets can be appropriately chosen from which to derive all the others. Once you realise that, a random selection like the one on this page simply isn't interesting at all. In fact, the choice here looks like a bunch of historical remnants inelegantly thrown together.

For comparison, this is a bit like writing a blog called "what is programming", and then going straight into the syntax and semantics of, say, Pascal as if it's the only programming language.

If you don't understand the difference between programming and Pascal, I'd advise you don't write a blog called "What is programming?" The same applies with logic, and given some of the author's other fairly substantial technical misunderstandings, my advice is to try a different resource for this topic.

We could and we are in some regions of the world: Japan has kei cars, the EU L6e and L7e vehicles.

Unfortunately they often cost as much as cheap highway-capable cars and the fuel consumption, while better, isn't amazing.

EVs fare better regarding the latter, but they're even more expensive.

Personally I was close to getting a Renault Twizy, but after I started working remotely the need for a commuter vehicle disappeared.

On a recent sar mission, I was navigating and the chart plotter software crashed and had to be restarted, we had no electronic charts for 5 minutes at 20kts, we were losing primary GPS intermittently, meanwhile it was hard to read the radar picture reflected from the coastline as the sea filter had to be turned right up due the heavy and confused seas. The depth sounder was intermittent as we were getting some air every time we went over a wave. You can be damn sure I had the paper charts out and I was regularly logging our position on paper and keeping track of all the navigation marks we could see out the window when it wasn’t covered in spray.

Well the initial version of Store (it didn't really improve in iterations of 10) was horrible UX and dodgy state changes. It's essentially just a webpage and a very bad one at that.

The new store that I've been using in internal builds is far more responsive. I believe they will require a Microsoft ID to access it, but other than that I have no complaints about the new version.

My boss got me hooked on Markforged. (Caveat, my next home printer is probably a Prusa.)

They are ridiculously expensive compared to alternatives, but the printed parts are on a whole other level, as they are a carbon-reinforced Nylon: They are much more fracture resistant and mechanically stable than PLA or ABS. They're a U.S. company and are very responsive to support requests. The printer build quality is good, I rarely had parts warp or detach, and the ability to print without deformation at a 60 degree overhang and 50 micron layer allowed printing parts pretapped for machine screws. The cloud software keeps a good catalog of your .STLs and allows some degree of slicer tinkering. Also, you can start a print remotely, which is awesome when you want to go home, finish a part, start it at night, and it's already on the build platform when you show up the next day. (The pricier models show photos remotely, so you can abort a failed job from home. The top-of-the-line model can laser scan specific layers and does its calibration automatically.)

At that job, we had printers of wildly different price category and technology---Form 2, uPrint, Carbon 3d, NanoDimension, ProJet MJP 5600, Fortus---and the workhorse for getting decent parts out quickly was overwhelmingly the Markforged.

-----

With all that in mind, I would never buy a Markforged for my home because I don't print enough to justify the cost. If I ran a general purpose printing lab, it would be my absolute first choice. I also wouldn't buy a non-European/non-American printer as a personal, moral preference. So, I'm waiting until the end of November to buy a Prusa, because that seems to be the only time they are discounted.
Last I checked it was making about $100 every 3 months with the dwindling usage and all. The app took me probably a solid 80 hours of work to put together. I do not know if hiring a developer to work on it would in any way be worth it.
Big cities have an appeal to the 20-somethings, but most older people are only in cities for the jobs, and as soon as WFH becomes an option they want to go somewhere nicer and/or less expensive.

And cities are usually the worst place to be during any sort of crisis (e.g. pandemic, riots, shortages/panic buying)

(Maybe it's the pricing that's all wrong. Maybe living in a city should be the cheaper option, and living in a more rural area should be an expensive luxury? But that's not what the market has given us)
In Berlin about 70% of all commutes are not done by car. By having things like supermarkets and entertainment closer to your home you don't need to drive there at least.

I was disappointed to see that this article didn't mention livestock agriculture. Rethinking cities is important for many reasons, but the climate impact is a drop in the bucket.

We use 50% of the habitable land on earth for agriculture, and 77% thereof is used to produce meat and dairy. At the same time, meat and dairy only make up 18% of the world's calory supply, and 36% of the protein supply.

It's crystal clear that the best thing we can do to free up land is to reduce livestock agriculture. This also has some more advantages, for example increasing biodiversity, decreasing zoonotic diseases like the current shitshow we're in, decreasing antibiotics resistance (the next shitshow we're about to enjoy), increasing the number of parks for recreation (which has a positive psychological impact on people). Oh yes, and animal welfare.
