Suburbs aren't always or necessarily cheaper. Compared to where I live, some suburbs outside the city are cheaper, some are more expensive.

A lot of the prices in the suburbs near me seem to depend on how good the schools are supposed to be, what types are jobs are nearby, and, maybe ironically given the discussion, how easy it is to access the city.

My observation has been that employee tenure is a huge drag on the insurance side. These are generally jobs for life, with all the organizational problems and inertia that spawns. Consequently, the internal thinking goes, why work to wring blood from a stone when there's a zero chance the company or your job disappears if you don't? They optimize for stability, not efficiency.

I'd chalk the failure of tech to penetrate up to the lack of standard interfaces. The entire insurance-provider industry, after you pry the lid off and look closer, is essentially bespoke person-person for almost any transaction.

It's gotten better, but it's still a far cry away, compared to the industries tech is used to disrupting. And you can't Uber-ize everything because (a) labor supply is a high-skill position with credentialing and negotiating power & (b) regulation prohibits overly disruptive moves (thank god).
> It's only through the subsidisation of suburbia and the low supply/high demand of high density urban areas that this is the case.

This is a myth espoused by cityfolk. Oregon trail settlers didn't need subways. Those in Alaska and that live in the woods do just fine without your "help".

Many people have ranches, like to hunt, and enjoy nature.

Some city thinkers like to prescribe ways for others to live, but these people should look inwardly first. City air is toxic and is killing your pulmonary system. Zoning is NIMBY and school funding shows even the most liberal prefer to protect their own.

Live your life and stop telling others they are wrong in their lifestyle. It's like nails on a chalkboard. Elitist, and will contribute to a Republican win in 2022 and 2024.

(I'm a social liberal, fwiw. I think most of us are doing this wrong and are increasing polarization.)
Thanks for the detailed reply. I meant p5.js instead of the python version so thanks for mentioning that as well. And yes, I was asking just out of curiosity how long it would take you(specifically) if you did the same piece in p5.js as well as in your system given your experience in the field.
Just to be clear, if by "normal," you're referring to the way humans existed for 95% of their existence, which was as small bands of hunter gatherers, that very clearly implies an advanced state of collapse. Even if some of the worst case scenarios for collapse come true, that's a long ways off. For one thing, it would probably imply a significantly reduced population (probably no more than 10-20% of current population levels) before nomadic hunter gatherer groups becomes an efficient way to live.
A better way to state it is to say you should learn how to brace properly with your abdominals when lifting heavy.

As for the muscles involved, a deadlift isn’t just back or legs or core, it’s all of those. Your Glutes and hamstrings are the “prime movers” that perform the actual movement, while you back and “core” musculature are bracing and stabilizing, allowing the movement to be translated into Bar movement.
As a recent transplant from SF Bay to Greater Boston... I'm inclined to agree.

I don't think it's more complicated. Most of the time I see people doing "corrections" on the so-called proper way to use Unix tools, they're favoring conciseness (sure, whatever) over intuitiveness.

I uselessly use "cat" ALL THE TIME, because the Unix pipe metaphor is absolutely intuitively excellent. I know that I'm starting at the beginning with pipe and shoving data through, and I have a good idea about each step.

During the 11th September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center people took the time to shut down their computers before exiting.

This is why every time you fly, they tell you during an emergency situation to leave your belongings on the plane. They are priming you so that if an event occurs you do not go into normal "leave plane mode".

Price/earnings ratio could be one, compared against its own history. However, the company is undergoing a structural change in how they generate earnings (hardware -> software -> services). And the brand is stronger than ever. And the products are stickier than ever. There are also adjacent markets for Apple to run it's iPhone playbook with very high probability of success (tvs, cars, etc). So perhaps a higher P/E is justified. And I give AR/VR a contribution of zero. I think Apple itself will grow into it's P/E quite well, but there are so many other stocks that don't justify their price. For that reason, I've sold out. It's the only position I had the last few years.
There is one thing I don't understand about the article. The rise in groundwater level should follow the average increase in sea level. It is not like a big wave would suddenly affect the groundwater level.

Assuming houses last for 50 years and during the next 50 years the sealevel can increase by around 50cm, it should be easy to check if buildings near the coast are high enough that they can accept this change in sealevel.

Of course, damage done by flooding does depend on how big waves are. So you need levees and seawalls long before you get a groundwater problem.

That said, you don't want to pump fresh water out of the ground close to the sea (unless you inject at least as much fresh water). But that is independent of sealevel rising.

Finally, plenty of Dutch houses are built in swamps below sealevel. The technology exists.
Because discussion is helpful to me for understanding the situation. Why is it unreasonable? Surely anyone with first-hand experience could tell me easily if it truly is obvious.

Discussion is not only needed for the higher-level of thought, but also for lower-level of thought. To get the ignorant caught up on the subject.

Having lots of raw resources doesn't mean you had high quality end products. Also Napoleon wasn't a medieval king, the medieval ages ended 500 years ago, things were much better 200 years ago when Napoleon lived.

When I lived on the minimum my government allows I could still buy higher quality raw ingredients than kings had access to 500 years ago and cook my own meals that are higher quality than was possible back then. It wont be as fancy, no, but it is better in every other regard, and I got access to the different wares year round while they had to account for seasons, spices basically non existent etc.

Capitalism and Free Market.

On an individual basis, apart from zero-cost sustainable habits, if you are capable, become a master of science, attempting to solve energy, material, carbon and climate issue at a physics level. If you are a craftsman, observe all the day-to-day activities of humans, tinker/hack and attempt to solve the same workflows more sustainably.

If you have a solution either through hacks or science, you'll have unbelievable amount of capital coming to you to scale your solution. Capitalists will be tripping over themselves to hand you money.

> There are a bunch of things like this in C++ where superficially C++ feature X is like feature Y in another language, and so C++ programmers wrongly assume the problems with feature X must also plague feature Y. I'm sure the reverse happens too.

Yes! I've noticed this also. Several recent C++ changes are copying idioms from other languages, and sometimes the standards committee seems to have missed the point or misunderstood how the features are used in the language they're copying.

The results are superficially similar, but not quite what I'd expect after knowing the feature from the source language.
1) Forgive the link to amazon...

2) yes - I own a pair with an electric heating element. I'm not quite as fast as normal, but they work just fine.

3) This one is fair, but you just need to avoid the heaters that pull a ton of power. Shoot for something around 200 watts (or anything that will run on usb) with an auto-off. A lot of folks will plug in 1500 watt heaters (because they're small), and not realize they're pulling a LOT of power. A standard 20amp/120v circuit in the US can only support a single 1500 watt heater (maxes at ~2400 watts) and 2 will start blowing fuses.

4 & 5) They do work - I promise. Also consider a head covering (beanie/hat or something).

It's not really a preference/compromise discussion - in most cases office buildings are running their AC/heat to shoot for minimum costs. Add in relatively poor airflow and building designs that have warm/cold pockets and it's literally impossible to make everyone happy.
> But I also think that HN overestimates the ability for single engineers to upend the goals of an entire organization. In the real world, if a company wants to automate anything and they’re paying well, there will be a line of engineers out the door applying to get it done.

There's a similar effect in journalism, where the loudest voices saying that individual journalists have the duty and ability to maintain the integrity of journalism are often other journalists.

It's a survivorship thing - the journalists/engineers who stay employed as such are the ones who probably honestly believe in the same things that their employers do, or at least have an output high enough in the things that their employers won't feel the need to heavily edit or nix entirely to have nearly the same effect. It creates an illusion of control.

But ultimately the author of anything is the person whose yeses and nos cannot be overridden, and that's the boss.

> In practice, companies know very well that automated customer support and similar solutions aren’t comparable to having a well-paid, highly-trained person pick up the phone.

And even if it's not particularly expensive in itself, the fact is that having bad customer service reduces complaints. Having anonymous/automated customer service even reduces complaints about customer service - because there's no way to identify or isolate a particular bad customer service experience, like a name. Avoiding the complaints probably creates so much savings that it would be worth automating customer service even if that cost more than having good, live customer service.

We do the same thing in means testing/bureaucracy in welfare/social services. The more difficult or confusing it is to prove one's qualification, the fewer qualified people will have to be serviced. In that case, spending more on "customer service" (i.e. adding more steps) ultimately reduces costs.

> There are a few people who will proudly pay more for the better CS, but they are a tiny minority.

There are also very few ways to know that the customer service on a product will be terrible before you need it. People aren't actively picking bad customer service any more than people choose to watch bad movies at theaters. It's something you find out about after you've already bought in.
Fails to state why using a different license would have been any different in outcome.
Oversimplified, inflammatory statements like "defund the police" and "ACAB" gain a lot more traction composted to more measured statements like, "We believe in maintaining a secure society for everyone and not just certain preferred communities, which isn't possible with the current policing and social care system. We need massive, decisive, and prompt reform that doesn't involve funneling more and more of the city budget directly to the police dept, and if we can't have that then we'd rather re-start from the ground up and police ourselves than sit by while the situation worsens."

In my experience people working on these things are well intentioned. So it comes down to a need to shift priorities. Maybe you need to launch something now, and the PM tries to make you delay some important thing for the next release, launching without it at first. That’s the kind of thing we need to change. No more promises of “We are working to make this better” while launching without crucial pieces first. We’re used to making that kind of choice when it’s not people’s livelihoods and working conditions at stake, and we have to make those choices differently when the stakes are people.

This is a terrible argument. The bit about the supernatural is also non sequitur in this context.

The OP was talking about materialism specifically, and naturalists are materialists, but the emphasis where materialism is concerned is metaphysical, namely, the thesis that that all that exists is matter and that matter is essentially extension in space, devoid of all those things any sane person acknowledges (qualia like color and intentional states like desires). Materialism, as have been shown time and again, is incoherent. It cannot explain something like color even as an illusion, because it cannot account for color even in principle in any way. At least the Cartesian, crippled by his own set of problems, could relegate things like that to the res cogitans. Trying to explain these things using only the res extensa is like trying to build the color blue out of triangles.

It also does not follow that any non-materialist position automatically accepts "magical" things (though you weren't specific about what you meant by "magical" or even "non-natural"). No one thinks of qualia or intentionality as "non-natural" or "magical". It is the nature of human beings to have desires and beliefs. It is the nature of matter to have color. But more to the point, I'm not sure how you leapt naturalism-qua-materialism to what is essentially God-of-the-gaps. (Mind you, the traditional understanding of God, in Catholicism and reaching all the way back to Moses, is that God is self-subsisting being whose nature it is to exist and that by which all things exist. Things cannot account for their own existence because existence is prior to things; if it were a property, it would be posterior which is absurd, and if it were identical with things, then plurality would be impossible, though this, too, is absurd).

Materialism is insinuated by the scientistic strains in our culture which creates a kind of bad mental habit of rejecting anything that cannot be pigeonholed into the straightjacket of materialist presuppositions and a compulsion to rephrase reality in terms of those presuppositions. But these aren't explanations. These are redefinitions.
It looks like FL and TX each had ~130k net migrants per the last reported data. [1] Washington had ~40k in the same year. There's a reason journalists talk more about migration to FL/TX, and it's because there are way more people moving there.

It would be really cool if there was a replica shuttle and mission control simulator using modern techniques and software.

But then it would also offer an arcade style version that the general public could just flip switches to try out.

I’m guessing the general public would not be able to follow the sequences needed to make the original approachable or fun.

> How dare we fix the Internet?

Fix it for who? We’re not far off from completely locked down devices, at least on mobile, where the last few options for ad (and tracking) blocking are being “fixed” in the sense they’re being removed.

Everything will eventually use DoH, ECH, and CDN IPs and it’ll be impossible to distinguish content from ads and tracking. I wouldn’t be surprised if browsers eventually stop letting addons see hostnames due to “privacy concerns”. At that point we’ll have unstoppable ads and tracking everywhere.

It's part of living in a broken city.

Your city (and country) does not need to have a massive homeless problem. This is something the city and state government can fix. Housing, mental health support, drug treatment support and better community policing are all possible, and proven to work.

How to get the city and state (and national) governments to fix this problem is another issue.

It's cultural but also institutional. Governments think nothing of blowing tens of millions of dollars on highway construction and do not typically think about or care to invest in alternatives.

Beyond a certain point (which was a long time ago) we're just building roads and highways to create artificial growth.

It blows my mind how people don't realize the cultural piece either. They travel, "omg it's so walkable here! this is awesome! wow that cafe is so cute. Of course i buy bread from the local shop." then come back and it's like their experiences were completely wiped clean from their memory: "wait what do you mean not drive a car a quarter mile down the road to sit in the Zaxby's line?".
