I lived in LA for a few years, I noticed the first.

But the second is off a bit. LA is the cultural capitol of North America, and only rivaled in the anglosphere by London and New York City. It's where people go to "make it" (or break it) in film, music, art, comedy, (and to an extent, cuisine and theater). When I lived in there I was surrounded by interesting and beautiful people in every apartment building and there was always something going on, somewhere to go, a show to see, etc.

It has its ugly side too. In my experience the glamour is lifted after about three months living in the Valley. But I can see why people would stay there, despite the lower wages and high cost of living.

And fwiw I left LA for the Bay Area, and I would never live in the Bay Area again (to me the place is an abject dump and not worth the mental or physical toll of living there) but I still have fond memories of LA. It's dirty and loud but at least it has a soul.

I didn't deny that landlords have power. But the power of the vote includes the ability to regulate and control nearly every form of landlords inherent power. Rent control and eviction moratoriums nearly completely neuter landlord power.

The physics of storing equivalent weights of gas versus solids - the volume and/or pressure containment required - make it quite impractical to store meaningful amounts (on the scale of billions of tons) of it as gas; the fact that CO2 is just 28% carbon and 72% oxygen is comparably a lesser issue but doesn't help as well.

Perhaps you can avoid "unburning" it by some other chemical process (which is why I was asking this) but simply pumping the CO2 somewhere does not seem a reasonable option, the only place on Earth that can easily hold that much of CO2 gas is the general atmosphere where it already resides.
I highly recommend this service as well.

I am specifically disinterested in existing within an echo chamber.

When I search for a topic, I am looking for information that is most faithful to objective reality. A detailed explanation of the limits of our current understanding, or why my understanding / model is inadequate is orders of magnitude more valuable to me than something that will affirm that I am a smart, special person. Google used to be exceptionally capable of delivering those kinds of results, even if it took some work refining search terms. Over the preceding decade, their effectiveness in this regard has significantly diminished.
Less than half of the US owned their own homes before the 1940's, after which more than 65% of people owned their own homes.

If we go back past the 1900's, the only workers that consistently owned their own property were farmers. Mortgages didn't become a thing until after the 1860's, and it wasn't until the 1890's that they became common. Before mortgages, workers did not have the lump sum of money required to purchase a home.

fwiw, this is what we do in Dark [1]. We store (serialized) ASTs, then then we pretty print them in the editor. This converts the AST into tokens that you see on your screen, complete with configurable* indentation, line-length, etc. Code would be displayed according to your config* and the same code displayed differently to a different developer looking at the same code.

* I haven't actually enabled users to configure this, but it's just some variables called 'indent' and `lineLength` in the code
Because we're replacing them with machines. Labor is expensive in some countries. So expensive that as a business owner you want to avoid hiring as much as possible.
1) I feel like you know that is an oversimplification, and therefore you are not arguing in good faith... Something I would really like to not do here.

2) Even if we assume that a $15 minimum wage would eliminate a notable number of jobs, elimination of jobs is not equivalent to unemployment. We, as a society, are okay with, going by your own argument, eliminating all the $5/hour jobs (with state minimum wages being $7.25+) because it does not lead to significantly less overall employment. Do you have evidence this would not also be true with a $15 minimum wage?

It takes at least a decade to build a modern nuclear power plant from planning to regular operation.

A modern reactor block has a net capacity of about 1.3 GW.
Last year, 1.4 GW net have been installed in just wind power in Germany. Sure that's not a good comparison, since both over-provisioning and storage have to be accounted for, but it just goes to show how quickly alternatives can be scaled up (side note, the newly installed capacity in 2017 was 5.3 GW).

The problem with nuclear power is logistics and time. There's only so many specialists for planning and building nuclear facilities plus most countries simply cannot afford to have more than dozen or so under construction at any given time.

The countries that'd benefit the most from cheap and reliable electricity ae incidentally countries that can neither afford nor operate nuclear power for various reasons. That's not just political instability and lack of expertise, but also geography. You need stable ground and cooling, so dry regions with seasonal flooding are off the table.

Not to mention the enormous amount of additional infrastructure, from substations to stable grids. Oh, and nuclear reactors are crap at load following so unless you have substantial baseload (e.g. heavy industry), you'd need somewhere to dump excess electricity.

It seems pretty obvious that most of the folks owning/operating retail or restaurants come out of the industry.

What's being argued isn't that point: rather, it's the question of how many workers move to better positions in that industry.

Even if 100% of the people running restaurants/retail come from within the industry, that fact has nothing to say about how many within the industry make that move to owning operating.

> ...they’re more likely to be renters by choice.

So, being unable to afford a house, even with a 6-figure salary, and thus renting is a "choice" now? Hmmm. I'm sure many people choose to rent, but I feel like most renters, especially those with good salaries, do so because the cost of ownership is too damn high these days, and the tax incentives aren't what they used to be.
There is plenty of serious objection to mask mandates, the literature on the subject was unanimously against universal masking before 2020.

It is absolutely possible to find examples of positive correlation between mask use and lowered spread, but it's also possible to find examples of the opposite, and of no difference.

If it works, why are there so many cases where it just doesn't?

I assume it has something to do with the fact that retail jobs don't require any qualifications, whereas the jobs that are "something better" do.
I was under the impression that the last step can potentially be made pretty efficient if it's "electricity -> heat pump" (but that depends on the conditions). Also - can nuclear power plants operate in combined heat and power mode to provide district heating? That'd probably require them to be close to highly populated areas though.

Not an investor. Never worked as an investor. Only worked for charities. Marc Lasry, however, is a very well-known investor.

Investing and charity does seem to be merging in quite a puzzling way. Saying that this company has been "so successful" after the founders have been caught committing fraud (not in the legal sense) is inexplicable.

I worked in finance. If this happened at a company that I recommended, I would have lost my job (I actually know a fund manager who had a well-publicised 5% position in a company that failed, they had institutional money only so the reaction was swift...50% drop in AUM, investors demanded they fire 75% of the analyst team...this does happen in finance). I guess not everyone has to play by those rules.

Ironically, it sounds just like old media. Pay a few good 'ol boys to put out the stuff I like and agree with. I will lose all my money but...who cares?
I'm afraid not, no. But you're not the first one asking this question - if it keeps on popping up, we might reconsider that decision.
Put it somewhere extremely hard to get to without industrialized tools. Assuming civilization doesn't collapse, any society with the kind of resources to want to go back in and extract the radioactive was is going to know what radioactivity is. If you assume it does collapse, the protection you get from a lack of power tools and logistics makes breaking into the waste repository prohibitively expensive. I doubt an agrarian or non-industrial society would be able to bankroll an expedition to a place like, say, Antarctica or the Atacama Desert and then being digging thousands of feet down using hand tools and ropes to find magic rocks.

I agree those things are important.

But the post by inglor_cz you replied to was specifically about socialising being limited to peer ages as a child, not social eduction in general.

Therefore your reply "this isn't really true though" and "how can you not categorise .. teachers" implied socialising with teachers and faculty, not just formal social interactions.

It really is true that many children don't have the opportunity to socialise with people outside a narrow age range at school, and that seems like a legitimate thing to dislike.

> You have a group of parents with money and a desire to educate their children in a particular way, so they went ahead and spent the necessary money and put in the necessary time to make it happen.

I don't even think it's a matter of money, but you nailed it on the head with the desire part. Some public schools actually get more funding than private ones...

Private schools get to filter out applicants. They only get applicants from families that are interested in education (and willing to spend a little bit more on it than average) and they are allowed to expel students that are not compliant.

That significantly lightens the teacher's workload and makes it easier for them to adapt.

Keep in mind in a public school classroom there will be a percentage of kids that don't want to be there and that will disrupt at much as they can no matter what. And, thanks to the Pareto rule, probably get 80% of the teacher's attention and energy. Some magnets schools manages to bypass that, but they are slowly being shamed and bullied into not doing [0].

This is a separate and more reasonable argument, but doesn’t directly hold much water at the moment. There aren’t many jobs that aren’t worth mechanizing at $15 an hour but are at the current minimum wage. And people aren’t hiring more people than strictly necessary to run their business regardless, so they can’t just drop lower-performing employees due to a wage increase.

The related concern that is real is that businesses that are solvent at current minimum wage might not be if they had to pay their employees 15 dollars an hour. The question is if we think it is more valuable that people get paid a more liveable wage for their effort, or if we value the jobs/services that businesses that pay under 15 dollars provide more than that. Second question is if the destruction of employers who rely on low wages to exist would also open up room for less exploitive employers to take their space in the business sector. A third question countering that is if lowered profits to business has a stifling effect on money-funded innovation. And then there are questions beyond that, that ultimately sum up to “Economics is complicated, and just looking at first order supply and demand effects never tells the whole story.”
We could house them all in a small fraction of the space if we mandated renting to be done in apartments rather than wasting space in houses. Everyone should be able to work toward owning their own home and banning non-efficient renting would do just that. We're really just building houses for the sake of making some greedy landlords richer. In fact, there is almost no difference between what we're doing and Chinese ghost cities that were built for artificial demand.

However, I've only ever met severe disagreement when I bring this up. I don't know if it's clear or not but for me (and probably most of everyone who frequents HN), keeping the status quo will continue to make us richer. I'm very clearly arguing against my own self-interests because I don't find low-efficiency renting to make the world a better place.

Their performance depends on the electrical wiring in your house.

Ironically for me I’ve only managed to make them work on older electrical installations, and even then it was at best 802.11n speeds.

In my current house (newly built 2018), I can’t even get them to handshake. I suspect it’s due to improved electrical standards and better isolation between different circuits internally in the house, but I honestly don’t know.

I sometimes consider the notion that, socially, Western modernity was just reified feudalism: everybody's a lord now! Up until 30 - 40 years ago, men were regularly addressed as Mister/Herr/Signor/etc [insert name], titles which were originally reserved for landed gentry and royalty in their respective locales; it use to be said that a man's home "was his castle"; "Rights" were something that nobles worked out with the monarch, see the Magna Carta, not something meant for everybody, the peasantry in particular. Within The Federalist Papers it was still being debated whether it was a good idea to ennoble everyone, whether a democracy where everyone has a say was a good idea(which, then, meant the mass of unenslaved men); today, people colloquially refer to themselves as a "queen" or "king", also "boss".

The presumption of a distinction is pivotal to Western subjectivity, again, particularly in America; "class distinction" is an ornament of the individual.

Not saying, like Carl Schmitt, that we need to bring back actual, explicitly stratified distinction between the people and the people who make sovereign decisions, but that perhaps we need to reconsider the way we relate to ourselves in the form of some sort of socio-political mastery.

Then again, this idea of the self as master is as old as Aristotle, but the ancient Greek polis was a whole political organization built for that idea.
