I partly disagree. There will be high demand for co-working spaces because employees like to go to the office once you remove the cons (commute, sitting next to your boss, etc). Companies will gladly pay for that too. Commercial buildings will just convert to co-working spaces.

I do see a problem for the centers where there's a high concentration of commercial buildings, esp if they are not nearby residential neighborhoods. Remote works want offices close to where they live, so co-working places need to be spread out and not all concentrated in one main area.
Reminder that the bottom 50% of the income distribution pays 3% of the tax receipts and after accounting for the costs of enforcement it is clearly theater.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I find there to be more cognitive load with the separate control flow. Different strokes I guess!

It's a more nuanced problem than that. This is how I've understood the problem when discussing foreign ownership specifically (don't shoot the messenger please!):

Our housing prices are wildly high, partially or even significantly, because of very wealthy foreign purchasers who often don't even live in the homes they buy. They jack the price up and sell them to other very wealthy people from their respective home countries. Rinse and repeat. It affects the prices of homes all around the property in tandem.

Basically those wealthy people who aren't contributing to the economy outside the house they bought, are making housing outrageously expensive for the people who do live here, because regular people can't financially compete with the wealthy purchasers that see the home as nothing more than a money maker to trade in overseas properties stacking.
That might be great if you're visiting or just out for a stroll.

But let me tell you, it can be infuriating if you're walking to actually get somewhere. The city I live in has been replacing 2-way and 4-way stops with roundabouts, which has a similar effect of moving the crosswalks away from the intersection. Now it takes much longer to walk anywhere because you keep having to detour out of your way to cross the street.

> may one ask what definition of "welfare state" has applied to the USA since its founding?

I’m going to assume that this is a serious question and try to quickly answer it in good faith.

A quick search finds these figures [0] from the Congressional Research Service.

“CRS identified 83 overlapping federal welfare programs that together represented the single largest budget item in 2011—more than the nation spends on Social Security, Medicare, or national defense. The total amount spent on these 80-plus federal welfare programs amounts to roughly $1.03 trillion. Importantly, these figures solely refer to means-tested welfare benefits. They exclude entitlement programs to which people contribute (e.g., Social Security and Medicare).”

Social Security and Medicare are massive entitlements beyond welfare spending that are all but sacrosanct in US politics, and that’s just federal spending.

Looking at total social spending as a share of GDP [1], the US is in line with Australia and Canada at 2016 numbers. The difference between the US at 19% and the Netherlands or Japan at 22.5% or Germany at 25% is one of degree, not of kind. This is especially true when you consider that in absolute terms the difference is even smaller since the US has considerably higher GDP/capita than those countries.

I suspect that it goes beyond lip reading. Deaf people can't speak as well because there is no feedback mechanism of hearing their own voice. So you need a mechanism for them to communicate outbound in addition to the inbound lip reading. That can be via writing, text to speech, a human interpreter, etc...

The problem is costs. I wonder what people would
say if you required mom and pop stores to have sign language interpreters? It would drive many out of business.

Now look at spiraling Medicare costs. We have similar expectations for the elderly and it is increasingly untenable.

We need a lot more automation to maintain or increase this level of social support services.

Another issue is what we classify as a disability. As another commentator mentioned, what about lack of strength, intelligence, etc? There is a vein of American culture that is trending that way. It basically spreads the costs to other parts of society, directly and indirectly. Tricky since most people are actually disabled temporarily or permanently in one way or another. Color blindness, myopia, bad hearing, on crutches from tearing an Achilles, etc...
As others are saying, distinction seems right but practically it results in the same outcome. Test riskiest assumptions with least amount of resources and find problems first. If you tend to write code then use no-code tools to avoid the trap.

The texas blackout was a major factor - it hit an NXP plant that didn't manage to complete an orderly shutdown in time, and caused enough equipment damage that they couldn't get operating again at all for a month, and at reduced capacity for a long time after.

Not really... somebody posted here recently, I cannot find a comment; supposedly posting CDU (German center-right party) policies into the recent NYT poll gets you lumped with trumpist wing of GOP. Many policies that are considered right-wing in the US enjoy broad support in European countries (e.g. official languages). Some things practiced Europe, like the Danish "immigrant ghetto" policies, would cause the US left to melt down so hard they'd burn a hole thru the Earth and come out in the Indian ocean (to be clear, I don't support or don't know/care enough to have an opinion about most of this stuff).

Universal healthcare is provided by many countries from Singapore, that few would call left-wing; to outright totalitarian regimes, e.g. modern Russia. It's an indicator of statism, not leftism; I am not a big fan of that either, but non-leftist statism (a-la Singapore) is ok and totally different from what I'm talking about. Tangentially but helpfully, I would recommend looking up the difference between social democracy and democratic socialism, as described by democratic socialists.
Why is that better than using your IDE? Your writing debugging code directly in you production code...
The challenge with exceptions is there is zero indication at the call site that a function can throw. Does myFunc() throw? Only way to know is to dig down through the entire call stack. Meanwhile with (value, error)/Result etc. it's obvious right at the call site whether a function can potentially error or not.
Go to Arch St & N Independence Mall E. See B. Frankie's grave, Christ Church. Walk south down Independence to Chestnut. See the Bell, Independence Hall. Walk east to S 3rd St, seeing the Second Bank, Carpenters Hall, First Bank. Walk south on 3rd to Walnut, see Merchant Exchange Building. Walk West on Walnut, see 18th Century Garden, Dolly Todd House. At Washington Square, walk diagonally down to Locust Street, keep walking west down Locust about 12 blocks to Rittenhouse Square, but stop along the way for lunch and a cocktail. Walk counter-clockwise around Rittenhouse and then go South on South 19th St, until South St. Head east on South St for 18 blocks, until 2nd St. Head North on 2nd St to Spruce St, and then head East for 2 blocks to Spruce Street Harbor. At this point it should be evening, and either you can go home or check out bars/restaurants in Old Town which is about where you are.

You can also take a detour at Broad St up to City Hall (take the Broad Street line subway up and back down if you're tired). See the hall, see the Masonic Temple, see the smallest "LOVE" sign ever at Love Park. Back towards Old City there's Thomas Jefferson's little place while he was writing it, Declaration House. There's the oldest continuously inhabited street in America, with a little art walk on Fridays around there. And of course there's the Art Museum and Waterworks behind it.

If you want to speed up your whole trip, make strategic use of Philly's Indego bikes. A bike is a great way to tour up the Schyulkill, to get to the Art Museum, and head north along the bike trail past boathouse row.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I don't think Twitter users need to comport themselves as school teachers. Twitter (and also Hacker News) requires you to conduct yourself to a certain level of etiquette in order to use the service, and some of that may be similar to the way a school teacher would behave -- in either case, you may be in the presence of 13 year olds that could be upset by your comments. I don't get why you are saying some people don't care about that etiquette -- that doesn't matter, agreeing to the etiquette is required to use the service, if you are using the service then it's agreed upon that you care about it.

Apple isn't like any business you've worked at before. While this movement might have signs of social activism, Apple's culture of secrecy is sui generis. It's been a long time coming for any sort of pushback against it, and it makes sense that it took a pandemic and enforced WFH for the systems of control to begin to break down.

As to whether or not their grievances are warranted, try asking any of your colleagues who used to work at Apple, and decide for yourself.

> "A good example is Aldi. They have no debt on their balance sheet anywhere, not even for inventory. By the standards of American business culture, that is 100% absurd."

Firstly, Aldi is a private company (actually two entirely separate private companies, ALDI Nord and ALDI Süd, who share the brand name). So AFAIK they do not publish annual financial reports like a public company would be required to do. So how do you know there's no debt on their balance sheet?

Companies House filings for ALDI Süd's UK subsidiary, ALDI Stores Limited, do show debts and interest expenses so it's certainly not correct to say they "have no debt on their balance sheet anywhere"[1]

"monthly buying time" sounds like a very... interesting... interpretation of just-in-time supply chains.
There are of course a variety of factors, including the popularity of the site the page is published on. The signals related to the site are often as important as the content on the page itself. Even different parts of the same site can lend varying weight to something published in that section.

Engagement, as measured in clicks and time spent on page, plays a big part.

But you're right, to a degree, as frequently updated pages can rank higher in many areas. A newly published page has been recently updated.

A lot depends on the (algorithmically perceived) topic too. Where news is concerned, you're completely right, algos are always going to favor newer content unless your search terms specify otherwise.

PageRank, in it's original form, is long dead. Inbound link related signals are much more complex and contextual now, and other types of signals get more weight.

I had done work at Ford and when a project came up there with IBM involved, Ford recommended me to them. Since it was my first contract with IBM, they didn't know anything about me and hired a project manager as a liason. I had already submitted an overall bid for the project, and since it would take more than 6 months, they wanted to do it with milestones so that I actually got some money along the way and they could see that I was capable of doing the work. And, I think they were actually looking out for me, because they knew that someone up the corporate ladder could change their mind and the whole project might get scrapped, they could get someone else to do it, etc.

A detailed project plan is something that both sides have to agree on. The project manager gave me guidance on IBM's expectations but it was up to me to define the "Statement of Work" and I defined the milestones so that there was one every month or two. It was their idea to do this part on an hourly basis. For one thing, the group that was putting my contract together didn't have it ready, so the only way I could work was hourly. A project plan was their requirement, not mine.

Doing a project plan for a fixed cost is doable too. The bottom line is, don't work for free unless you want to. If they want a project plan for a big project but won't pay for your time to put it together, that would be a huge red flag for me and I'd probably pass. If you are the one that requires the project plan, that's a little different and I could see where a customer might balk on paying for that.
I have a question which might betray ignorance - why wouldn't humans still be able to live in colder countries which are now warm countries?

I agree that 5-8C warming will lead to mass death through war, famine. But why would Siberia be too hot for habitation for the remaining population (whether that's 100 or 500 million people)?
> The pure libertarian view is that if it is a net benefit to twitter (including where less expenditure on moderation outweighs the costs of poorer quality of moderation), then it's a good idea.

That isn't a libertarian view. Libertarianism centres around freedom (ie, liberty). Twitter is going to do the thing that most benefits themselves regardless of what political system is in play; so libertarianism doesn't really have anything to say about it. Libertarianism simply argues that Twitter should have very wide latitude to act - especially with respect to their own property if it is the right wing branch of libertarianism. But the pure position doesn't care at all if Twitter is doing things that do or do not benefit Twitter. And although it is good that Twitter has liberty, whether Twitter's subsequent actions are good or not is up for discussion.

In this case, Twitter should be free to operate their service however they want (and that is the most important freedom). But banning people without an excellent reason is still a bad idea, libertarianism has valued the free flow of ideas since its inception and banning people from a platform cannot promote that.

I think that's a bias of hindsight, something people say after seeing it happen in a particular situation. In other situations, principles, promises, and other factors have the last word.

> it lets you separate your exception handling logic from the mainline logic of the function

So do the error monads (on Rust or Haskell). In fact, they offer a lot more flexibility on how to separate them, and can put even more distance between the happy path and error handling (if you need it, often people use the extra flexibility to place them closer).
