I use the timeboxing technique daily to maintain a tab on time spent while surfing the net. Also there is a particular workflow that works with me now, for which I use a couple of tools to achieve. I use feeder.co to keep track of my feeds and newsletters. There's a daily folder which I check daily, and for others I subscribe to weekly newsletters so that I get curated content which saves me my time. In the weekdays I just stash interesting articles, projects, etc that I discover among my feeds to instapaper. I have linked the instapaper folders to my RSS reader with RSS so that on weekends I can check my stashed items. On the weekends I go through them all as I have free time on hand and then organize them into Raindrop.io bookmarking tool neatly. So it's, discover, stash, read, and then organize workflow with me.
Well, the UK just willingly put up giant trade barriers with their biggest trading partner. Doesn't really scream "free trade" to most people outside the UK. There is a reason why annual foreign direct investment into the UK almost halved (!) after the Brexit referendum. Probably one of the main reasons why TSMC doesn't consider the UK for this.

Also skilled immmigration to Germany is MUCH easier compared to the UK, which also plays in huge role in these kind of projects.

Celebrating incorrectness, eh? Nothing wrong with being wrong, but not willing to learn... I don't know.

> If you speak any non-English language, you will know that this obsession with getting English-language speakers to pronounce foreign words "correctly" is unique

It's not unique, you think is unique because you are English-language speaker. Anyone speaking X natively will correct others learning X if they ask, but they will not mention it or pay attention to it if they are just talking, only encourage it. The proper 'correctness' will come much later when you really want to learn the language but at that point you will ask for the correcting yourself

And if you mean the names of people/places/movies/etc. how can you not be corrected? It's literally the name you are trying to say
> it seems to me that the people who care the most about this issue are monolingual.

Sort of. I’d speculate that those who care about it the most are people who’ve never struggled and failed to pronounce a name in another language. In my limited experience of knowing 3 languages I never had trouble with any pronunciation. So I came to the unfounded conclusion that a. I can pronounce anything and b. everyone should pronounce everything correctly and if they don’t, it’s for lack of effort.

I was wrong. I learned this while learning how to pronounce Chinese names. I thought I was saying them right. For example I’d pronounce “Xi” as “Shi”. But it wasn’t the right Shi, evidently (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Ston...). My friend sat with me patiently as I attempted it over and over. Every time she’d say “no, not Shi, it’s more like Shi”. I couldn’t hear the difference. So even if I put in more time, I wouldn’t succeed.

So now I’m more tolerant of people making mistakes. As long as they make an effort, it’s good enough.

If anyone would like a challenge, try pronouncing the word “Tamil” from the language Tamil. I haven’t heard anyone who wasn’t a native speaker pronounce it correctly.
Have you completely forgotten 2020? After a year in which forcefully occupying government buildings was regarded as legitimate protest; a year with over 500 riots, for which arrested rioters were generally not prosecuted; Democrats have no credibility when they complain about the right occupying one government building.

What you've done there is pure partisanship: defining "the other side" by the worst among them while ignoring the behavior of the worst among your own side.
You got it wrong. The policies that heavily subsidized the solar industry were written by Merkel when she was the Minister for the Environmental Affairs in the 90s, but put in place by Minister Trittin from the Green Party after the '98 elections. The death of the German Solar industry was the result of KEEPING those subsidies TOO HIGH FOR TOO LONG. If the government makes sure that the demand is increasing at a very high pace, all you will do as a manufacturer is t put all the cash you can get your hands on into scaling your production with the current state of technology. You'll stop all R&D, because the immediate ROI of selling "state of the art crap" is much higher. In the mean time, China created competitive technology with lower cost and finally, at some point in time, they've even created the better solar panels.
I agree, so do many Americans.

That’s what elected trump btw... a populist movement effectively trying to take over the Republican Party.

In my opinion, it’s also why the corporate media then attacked him (who btw I think is an idiot and don’t support)

I think it becomes more and more obvious by the day you’re correct. I honestly didn’t see it this way until some of the stuff in 2021.

Case in point So... 12 / 18 people in the michigan plot to capture the governor and stormed the court house were feds (FBI agents or informants directed by FBI).

> Panic rising, Dan slipped away from the group for a moment and spoke into the recording device he was carrying, which he knew was being monitored live by his FBI handlers. The Watchmen, he said, were preparing to breach the Capitol. The agents couldn’t speak back to him, but he hoped they could at least warn the police about what was coming.

> Then something surprising happened. The Michigan State Police stood down and let the protesters — including those in full tactical gear — enter the building unopposed. They could even bring their guns, so long as they submitted to a temperature check for COVID-19.

Media goes wild and blames Trump few weeks pre-election. In reality, the documents filed in court make it look like the fbi entrapped people (remains to be seen in court).

At least here in Finland public transportation absolutely does not work in most of the countryside. Maybe you count us as Eastern Europe, but I can tell that the situation is no different in Sweden for example.

The truth is that replacing private car ownership for people living in countryside in many countries would require large government spending to operate lines that are not commercially viable.
Are you familiar with homotopy type theory? One of its proponents, Fields medalist Vladimir Voevodsky, has stated that his contributions are part of a “personal mission” to bring mathematics into a new age of formal verification [1]. I’d be curious to know how this compares to LEAN.

Another interesting one: James and Jacob are the same name (from the Hebrew Yaʿqob), and in spanish it's either found as "Jaime", "Jacobo" or "Santiago" which comes from "Saint Iago" (Iago being an old spanish conversion of the Latin "Iacobus" which came to other romance languages as Yago, Iaco, Jacob, Yacobo, Jacobo etc).

The "J" consonant leads to many interesting things because of how many pronounciations it has. It can be an english "J" or the softer latin "J" (identical to an I) or an in between Y which could be between an english J and SH. In current spanish, however, the J is pronounced as the "voiceless velar fricative"[1] (a very strong H?), so whilst the name started sounding like "Iacobo", it's now a very firm HHakobo.

Tesla's problem, from the outside, looks like they didn't ask for expert advice, or ignored it if they got it. Which seems to be a recurring problem with Telsa in technical fields, but it's interesting that it comes up in business and regulatory fields.
> ...it begs the question "why?"...

If roads were only for arterial traffic flows that would enable very high density areas without roads or parking, where people could walk to all the places they want to get to. It'd be cheaper for everyone, probably have better health outcomes and be a bit more communal. Plus safer for children because they can't be run over. Just look at how much space is wasted leaving it empty for light amounts of traffic.

And I'll also add that you are the only one who wants this to be utopian. It is transport policy. That is pretty mundane, mostly practical details and not all that exciting. The goal here would be maybe increase urban density by 20%-40%, and there are trade offs to the benefits. If you think that is a utopia then I admire how achievable your goals are.

Cars and private car ownership are not a problem. Cars using fossil fuels, and unnecessary private car traffic in large cities are. Electric vehicles solve the first problem, better public transport the second.

For the vast majority of people living in the countryside car ownership is a necessity, at least as long as city dwellers aren't willing to pay for government public transport to rural areas.

Thus, being anti-car is idiotic since cons of cars outweigh the pros only in certain contexts.

Considerations on Rent Control (2019)
Thank you once again for writing such an excellent article <3

In contrast to some other comments here, I love the narrative style. After all, these are half tutorials half entertainment - and the entertainment keeps it enticing. I would not have spent nearly two hours reading about the nitty-gritty of futures implementation details today if it weren't for the way you write about things.

To put it the other way - if I wanted to read a super condensed, concise reference of how these things work, I would, you know, read a reference. The narrative style of building things on your own, solving problems as you face them, picking tools and libraries on the way, feels relatable as the everyday lived experience of software development. It feels appropriate for the medium - it's a blog after all!

Besides, blogs are the perfect place to mention the tiny useful tools and libraries people might not have heard of. References and books might err on the side of being "neutral" and not making opinionated recommendations, but this can also lead to unknown unknowns. People don't know what they are missing out on! Luckily, blogs have more freedom here. Mentioning things like `cargo-edit`, `serde` and others can probably make some readers feel like "one of today's lucky ten thousand" - enjoying the newly-gained quality of life improvements.

> after everybody is seeing what Germany is doing to Tesla's Gigafactory there

Requiring it to follow the rules? As a portion of GDP, manufacturing is a bigger part of Germany's economy than nearly any other developed country. It is even higher as a portion of GDP than _China_ (edit not China, see below). Pretty much everyone except Tesla seems to cope, so I'm inclined to assume that this is more a Tesla incompetence problem than a Germany problem.

Top technical talent scarcity and cost.

In Silicon Valley, you can find a dozen 600k$ engineers relatively quickly to scale up a random startup.

In Germany... the salaries these people would be making would be < 100k$ because they are engineers, not managers. For some reason the only way to slightly increase your salary in Germany is to become a manager, but good luck with scaling up a start up by hiring 12 managers that don't have anybody to manage.

This disparity in the valuation of top engineers cause many to emigrate, and once you are in the US, it is impossible to financially justify taking a 5x pay cut to go back to Germany. (You can justify it "non-financially", but these other justifications would need to offset the 500k$ yearly that you are leaving behind).

So... finding top talent in Germany is hard. If you were to find them, hiring them would be 2x more expensive than in the US. Which makes a good that's very expensive, twice as expensive.

This is one of the many reasons why the startup scene in Germany is poor. Nobody wants to be the engineer that actually builds the stuff, everybody wants to be a "manager".

It turns out that many of the engineers that get to build the stuff become excellent managers once the company grows because they know it inside out.

---

TL;DR: if you are a tech company that needs top engineering talent to grow a super high tech facility up, you can't find enough talent there, and the one you find is twice as expensive as somewhere else.

As others have mentioned, the price of talent is insignificant for TSMC compared to the price of their machinery, so they can afford the 2x increased costs, but the lack of talent is harder to offset.

I'm posting this because for one, I think the article makes for good discussion, and two, it (somewhat) contradicts my current views on rent control, and I'm interested to see how other folks here evaluate the article.

It was my understanding that rent control directly leads to reduced rental housing supply because of the artificial price ceiling placed on rents. However the author's sources dispute this. I understand that the complex effects of rent control cannot be simply summarized through "supply and demand", and it would also vary based on the actual implementation.

My knowledge on rent control's effects came from reading Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy, earlier this year, so if there's even more to this, I would like to learn :)
