Running a Discord "server" is a lot easier than running a forum.

Most paid forums suck (they try hard to not look like forums, which also makes them not usable like forums).

The alternatives are PHP (why are they all PHP?!) open-source dumps you get to install on an Apache node yourself. Or you can get a generic VPS and use tools like softaculous to set up the forum app. Most of these projects don't come with CAPTCHA out of the box, or proper GDPR compliance, or other things you'll want.

That all said, running a forum is DEFINITELY worth it, and your customers will thank you (if not in actual words, in traffic).
> Now, as a driver, I am appalled at the behavior of cyclists. With my experience I take interest in and carefully watch their behavior.

> Running red lights and not stopping for stop signs is the worst. And it's pretty universal.

Some areas have a yield at stop signs law for bikes so the stop signs could be legal, but I think a major driver of this kind of behavior is bike hostile infrastructure. If you've stopped for your 20th red light that prioritises non existent car traffic and that won't turn green today, or you're going past your fifth intersection that requires crossing at signals 3 times, waiting 2 minutes a piece on an empty road with visibility 500m in each direction it starts seeming pointless. Once someone is in the habit of disobeying clearly pointless (or in the case of many stop signs, actively unsafe because there is no visibility at the sign and accelerating up hill from a stop rather than 2mph causes you to spend far more time in the danger zone) signals and signage I can see it being easy to start ignoring others.

Respect works both ways, and when your city and laws clearly disrespect someone you shouldn't be surprised they stop respecting you.
They took one ski lesson and thought they would be good at skiing? Sustained training from a professional will definitely create a better outcome than not. The author obviously is trying to extrapolate on this point to make a larger point about markets, but the base argument doesn't really ring true.
The strategy seems obvious: make an account on the top 5 dating apps, use mostly the same profile if you want to save time, and have access to virtually the entire population of dating app users rather than one subset.

Trying to get my single friends to do this is absolutely impossible. The elephant in the room is masturbation removing the desperation to find a partner. They say necessity is the mother of invention and porn keeps their sights aiming higher and higher as they spend less and less time working on themselves.
Percentage of money spent ought to be significant if the claim is that demand for crypto is meaningfully substituting for demand for physical goods.

Even crypto needs to be converted to fiat at some point to actually spend it, either directly so you can move it to a bank account or turn it into cash, or indirectly by using a crypto-backed credit cards and if that money isn’t legit, you still have to launder it if you can’t prove to your tax authorities where it came from.

Look, there are some table stakes before diving in with strong opinions, so the first thing to understand is the balance of payments identity, namely current account + changes in capital account = 0

http://www.econ.yale.edu/~ka265/teaching/UndergradFinance/Sp...

Now if there was zero foreign investment, then the U.S. deficit spending a lot (please don't use the word "printing money") would cause demand for foreign goods to rise. You are right about that!

But - does that mean that we buy more foreign goods or that the value of the dollar falls so that the money spent on foreign goods (in dollar terms) is the same as the money spent by foreigners on our goods?

You see, there is another degree of freedom, namely the exchange rate! The exchange rate is all that is needed to clear exports and imports so that there is no trade deficit, and that is true regardless of how much "money printing" happens.

So whether or not you get a (net) trade deficit is going to be determined by (net) foreign investment, which raises the dollar and prevents it from falling enough to equalize imports with exports. The residual is the trade deficit.

Viewed a different way, the demand for the dollar is the demand for american goods + the demand for american assets.

If the demand for assets is zero, then the price of dollars is whatever it needs to be so that our deflated dollar makes our goods sufficiently cheap and foreign goods sufficiently expensive so that the stimulus spending does not cause a trade deficit.

Trade deficits are always and everywhere determined by net capital inflows. That is what the Balance of Payments identity is telling you. They are not caused by deficit spending, declines in productivity, failures of our educational system, etc. It really is just capital inflows.

All the other stuff is important, as it effects the exchange rate, but it's not important for determining trade deficits.

> You wouldn't cheer at the funeral of your dead spouse, right?

If someone truly hated their spouse I don't really see what the problem is. Although if someone was that happy that their spouse died I doubt they'd bother with a formal funeral.

There are some deeply unhappy marriages out there.

> To exist is good. Being is better than non-being.

That isn't a logical conclusion though, that is a premise. Logic cannot provide premises. Premises enter logic from the outside, and logic decides if the premises are consistent with each other and whether they have implications.

I'm not sure if you're just expressing your personal concerns over what you believe can hypothetically happen, or whether you're grossly misinformed.

Meanwhile, even though gas prices are breaking records all over the world, in the US they are still below the prices from 2010, back in the days no one in the US was concerned about gas prices because they were 3 times higher a couple years back during Bush2's presidency.

Binance, wirex, crypto.com and others offer credit cards backed by cryptocurrency balances. Sure, technically, they sell the crypto for fiat as you use it, but to the user it’s the same as spending the cryptocurrency directly.

And there are at least some online businesses that accept crypto, certainly security focused services like Mulvad and ProtonMail but I’ve occasionally seen it for other SaaS products too, although not too often.

I have a BS in Computer Science from a pretty good program. I thought it was quite difficult. I’ve met many people with a master’s who did less for their master’s than I did for my BS.

The author tends to make very simple logic fallacies in all of his articles. If we apply the same logic to video games or movies we would ask why aren't modern games any good? Its simple survivorship bias. He also uses the Prizker prize as the highest prestige award, I have never heard anyone ever mention it, and at best never remembered what some wealthy people's opinions were or think they were relevant.

I live in Illinois where JB Prizker is the governor, I went to a drafting school and was an architecture student in college so it shows how important the prize is. Good architecture wasn't ever monopolized by self appointed tastemakers, or how many or what awards it got, people liked what they liked despite what self anointed experts decided what they think is the best. You can look at other prizes that if by the cash prize is less prestigious but not at all similar in taste, meaning building design taste is not standardized and the assuption that all buildings headed by architects only building and copying Prizker prize winners is false.
https://architectureprize.com/winners/2021.php

Building codes, materials avaliable, and standardization will cause buildings to have common characteristics, his examples are all designs that have survivorship bias from different cultures around the world and of course he had to mention how left wing he is, how the right is wrong, Trump for some reason and his own assumptions as facts and make everything political like this

>For many of the people who use these terms, they connote a vision that is ugly, fake, and deeply racist.

His articles are always childish and amateurish. He assumes that we need more modern buildings that conform to his own style, which is a deeply out of touch, privileged positon like the Prizker prize apointees and ignores the modern buildings in Singapore or Japan where they can afford such designs. Most people are going for cost efficiency with generic plans prefabs, sometimes green features (cutouts in large buildings exist at seemingly random points but they're sunlight related, and its only a consideration at scale) or just living in a mobile home of some kind due to soaring costs.

I mean, it always amazes me how much people want the 'corporate developers' to be the only bad guy, and not the citizens of this city.

We have a homelessness crisis because, we have not built truly affordable housing in SF since the 60's (related: I would love to hear your explanation as to why developers are the ones who don't want multi-unit housing west of Divis).

We have the country's worst homelessness crisis because while we were not building affordable housing, we also weren't building unaffordable housing either. We just weren't building!

I agree, building 50k supportive housing units in this city tomorrow would be great, but I also understand that the braintrusts of Telegraph Hill are unlikely to support such a thing. So instead, all I think is, let's at least release a little pressure and try not to be an international embarrassment, because 'nothing' or 'let's just put homeless people in existing hotel rooms' or 'Defer blame to marginal vacancies caused by startups' is actually a very nefarious way to make this problem worse.

Mixed use paths as seen in parks are for dogs, pedestrians, children cyclists and beginners. They are not and should not be for commuting except maybe as a last mile connection, because commuters are moving at about 15-20km/h if they want to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time. As soon as they get busy there are so many conflict points that accidents are inevitable.

Calling them bike infrastructure is like calling a school zone with zebra crossings and speed bumps a highway.

They are what should be built first though, because you don't get new cyclists without low speed, safe, fully separated bike infrastructure. They should always be paired with a nearby road with a cycle lane and somr plan for separated infrastructure though.

I think this is a disingenuous description of "provide a valuable service that many people appreciate".

I also don't see why speed-limited e-bikes shouldn't be on bike paths, unless you're living in an area where they are unthrottled or have a ridiculously high limit.

But the cost of all of those things are tied to trade prices. Lets say we halve the value of a dollar, then we effectively halve the salary of every American worker relative to the rest of the world, and also halve the value of the American consumption market. That would massively reduce the stock value of all companies that mainly sells to the American market, which includes most big American companies. It would also mean that skilled workers would no longer be incentivised to move to USA to work since the salary is no longer better.

Or in other words, it could end the American dominance that has lasted since WW2. If it happens slowly enough it wont be a crash, but the American dominance will still end. I see no scenario where USA will maintain its current dominance, the living standards of Americans will get massively reduced and stocks will massively go down, it could happen quickly or slowly but either way it will happen.

I think one of the big challenges with e-bikes is the acceleration. An electric motor combined with the relatively light weight means they accelerate seriously quickly.
Stop signs here in Australia, like most of the world, are only placed where the visibility actually makes it necessary to come to a stop. They're far more common over in the US. Pick any random intersection, it probably has a stop sign or four.

If all the give way signs on my commute were replaced with stop signs, I'd sure feel like rolling through them.
But it seems to produce economically terrible outcomes longer term... Induced demand is a good example - you get to the point where you need to pay huge amounts of money to expand road infrastructure, but as soon as you do it encourages even more use so after widening a highway, there is often an increase in travel times fairly soon after the upgrade after the initial short-term benefit!

Strong Towns also have some good examples of how car-oriented infrastructure can also be economically unsustainable in that it encourages low-density neighbourhoods with a lot of roads, so long term cities can't afford to maintain the roads without cross-subsidising it from new developments. So if the city stops growing, it often can't sustain the infrastructure it has! Whereas somewhat more dense areas (especially where retail and small business tenancies are mixed in with housing) can have much more property tax income per unit area as well as less road infrastructure to maintain which can tip the balance to being economically sustainable in itself.

Make no mistakes : voting machines are a recurring topic of law propositions. We avoided them until now but they are waiting just around the corner.

Sorry, is there any real argument here?

> Cryptocurrencies are not anonymous

A lot of them are certainly hard to trace, and are specifically trying to be.

> and fiat currency is no shining star

Indeed, but we go to great lengths to make it hard to launder money,

> HSBC and other major banks launder money for the drug cartels at billion dollar scale

Some people go to great lengths to break the law. But why make it easy and enable even more people to do bad things?

> Rather than white collar crime like ransomware, drug cartels actually kill and mutilate people.

You think drug cartels won't use crypto? Ransomware gangs are likely just pioneers.

If you want to make the case for crypto, argue its benefits (which I can certainly see). Or propose some means to keep its problems in check. But don't just deflect and point to problems elsewhere.
> Most users are going to be transactional in their engagement with the software, open source or not.

Yeah, that's the problem.

Just last week I saw a GH issues post in which someone was reporting problems with the HTML output of an MIT licensed email template editor, and someone had replied that he fixed all of the tags/CSS, and then edited his link to a gist with the changes, saying that "his boss told him that was proprietary."

What was surprising was not that a random corporate stooge is both a complete scumbag, and thinks table tags are valuable, but that everyone else in the thread accepted the response without mockery, and no one bothered to look up who that guy worked for and harass the company on social media.

> But forcing a "community" by trying to force transactional support style engagement into a real time conversation framework is detrimental to the users as well as the "community" you are trying to force into existing.

I don't think community denotes real time communication. Community is also when Theo was widely praised for dropping all Adaptec drivers from a release version of OpenBSD quite a few years ago, to punish them for giving him a run-around on drivers about 'iNtElLeCtUaL pRoPeRtY' (despite the fact that they were a hardware company). Community is also when people find a hidden daemon in OSX that contacts an NSA / CIA server and post it publicly rather than anonymously to a journalist without the details of the process used to uncover it.

Community was better 15-20 years ago than it is now, by a wide margin. All those "transactional" had people better pick the right jobs with valuable equity, otherwise they'll find themselves short of keeping their kids and grandkids middle-class when everyone else has "transactional'd" themselves all the way to slums and soylent green patrolled by Amazon-branded Ring / Terminator cops.
