Practically speaking, the areas you speak of will always have high demand, no matter the type of demand. It's never going to be affordable. Accept it.

Second, somebody living in a small super expensive apartment whilst fully working remotely is likely to have a miserable time (COVID situation). If they would have the type of job security guaranteeing they can continue working remotely for a long time, surely many of them might leave. Those that stay likely have non-work reasons to stay, like proximity to family or other attractions of the city.

As for home ownership, it's a market, and there's no such thing as morality in markets. If you think that sounds cruel and selfish, try this simple thought exercise: the people currently priced out of owning a home, imagine they somehow do acquire a home. Now add 10 years and their homes appreciating 50% in value. Now they sell, do you honestly believe that these people that were all about social fairness and morality now apply a 50% discount to the buyer, out of the goodness of their heart?

I don't think so.

Likewise, if something happens to your home (expensive repairs, mortgage issues) do "moral" people come to help and compensate you? No. Your problem, you're the owner.

Anyway, I do empathize with the point, and I think we need a systemic change. The spreading of work/cultural locations into more places/hubs. The idea that you can cram ever more people in a tiny area and somehow keep this stable and working is just a ridiculous illusion.

Extra supply doesn't really work in these areas, so indeed...reduce demand, by moving it.
Even as an indicator I like it larger than many places set it to by default. I am also on pretty large 27" monitors though
I wouldn’t have an issue with speed cameras in certain places if we had reasonable speed limits. Problem is - we set speed limits quite low in California.

101 is 55mph for major portions of it. Yet, ain’t no one going 55 because there’s no reason to. We all can safely drive on it at 75 and that’s the prevailing speed right now regardless of what the signs say. Even 75 is low for many and you can go 85+ with no real increase in risk many times.

Speed limits like most laws are often set for the lowest common denominator, to harvest tax money, and/or as reactionary adjustments rather than based on reason/studies.
I would completely dismiss all cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin. Environmentally friendly is a trick. If it’s pointless, like all other coins, it’s a waste of energy no matter how efficient it is.

Stablecoins are for those that cannot let go of the traditional system. They will all go to zero.
The fact that their main product is "Elastic Cloud" and AWS EC2 means "Elastic Compute Cloud" is... unfortunate

It's worth pointing out AEMO's demand is for the grid, and residential solar typically does not show up on the grid. OpenNEM[1] uses estimates of residential solar to approximate the full load.

The straightforward answer is that FB leadership sincerely believes that yes, that will happen.

Or pretends to, at any rate.

$1 for construction, $2 for corruption. Enriching the corrupt pays long-term dividends -- in increased corruption. Rich, corrupt people buy politicians to seed more corrupt projects.

Solar and wind seem, thus far, relatively immune to corruption. Most storage methods should be, too. It seems to be because easy estimation of incremental cost leaves little scope for corruption.
"...two days before President Roosevelt left for the Yalta conference with Churchill and Stalin in early February 1945, he was shown a forty-page memorandum drafted by General MacArthur outlining a Japanese offer for surrender almost identical with the terms subsequently concluded by his successor, President Truman. The single difference was the Japanese insistence on retention of the emperor, which was not acceptable to the American strategists at the time, though it was ultimately allowed in the final peace terms...

"Specifically, the terms of the Japanese peace offers of late January 1945 were as follows:

Full surrender of the Japanese forces, air, land and sea, at home and in all occupied countries.

Surrender of all arms and ammunition.

Agreement of the Japanese to occupation of their homeland and island possessions.

Relinquishment of Manchuria, Korea and Formosa.

Regulation of Japanese industry.

Surrender of designated war criminals for trial.

Release of all prisoners.

"Other than retention of the emperor these terms were identical to the final surrender terms."

It's a bit more terse than I'd have put it, but I was about to reply along the same lines when I reloaded and saw your comment. While the supermarket employee (for those who don't know Target, it's a USA-specific thing afaik) might not be able to prove some of those things like doing research for a 1940s soldier costume, it's indeed not that hard and doesn't need a university study. Many of GP's points will be much harder to prove than to learn in the first place. And so I would also conclude that years of study might just not be required to start doing the job. Trying to be respectful of an actor's skill, since I truly don't think I could do that job well (or at least not without months or years of trying, and even then idk), it also doesn't strike me as requiring deep study. That's just not required for showing up to work on time (I'm cherry-picking one of the points here, to be fair).

Even for IT there's an argument to be made that it's super easy to learn 80% at home and do maybe some hands-on work in a lab with 500 virtual computers (that you wouldn't easily setup by yourself in a realistic manner), then go into the job. After a magazine got me started on HTML with a 3-page explanation at 12yo, things just started rolling from there and I was basically always ahead of what I was expected to know by year x of the study because I had already done stuff out of personal interest. Don't need an N-year study there, either. Engineering (in the sense of building a bridge that stands 100 years) is probably different though.
Key Takeaway from Adam:

I could spend all day designing a new page on the website that's going to organize art better and make things look a little bit nicer, or like a new form that seems more like slick and with it and conversational, instead of our current one. And I could spend all day on it--seriously--and I could tinker with it and enjoy the tinkering. But if I just spent 30 minutes trying to find six entertainment lawyers and reached out after another hour or so drafting an email with a couple of different versions, that could be worth a week of effort if I just did that. So I try to focus on being productive rather than just busy. I like Jeff Bezos, and his analogy is that it's always 'Day 1.' So I ask myself if I could only get one thing done today, what would be the most epic thing to get done? Or if I only have an hour to work on the business today, what will I do with this hour?

Day 1 reference from Amazon 1997 Shareholder letter (see https://s2.q4cdn.com/299287126/files/doc_financials/annual/S... )

"Amazon.com passed many milestones in 1997: by year-end, we had served [...] But this is Day 1 for the Internet and, if we execute well, for Amazon.com. Today, online commerce saves customers money and precious time. Tomorrow, through personalization, online commerce will accelerate the very process of discovery. Amazon.com uses the Internet to create real value for its customers and, by doing so, hopes to create an enduring franchise, even in established and large markets."

There is a constant din in a city. The cacophony has a consistency. There is order to the auditory chaos.

A dedicated tray is a concept tied to windows 95 style UX. I hope the new designs are more about standardizing ways to indicate various statuses and actions of "the app" broadly, without dedicated status icons. For example download progress is still only an Ubuntu Unity protocol that KDE also supports because they can but it's all not freedesktop standard.

To all the people who are criticizing the author doing it in Python, I think spreadsheets are actually superior to this for public policy.

They are easier for the average person to grasp and play around with than is python.

Almost any person who works in an office, can download a spreadsheet, look at the formulas, and then change a single cell and immediately see the results.

I'm not an expert (my only qualification is that I read a part of Babbage's book; others must know a lot more), but see http://tomforsyth1000.github.io/blog.wiki.html#%5B%5BBabbage... and (linked from it) https://www.fourmilab.ch/babbage/cards.html — it looks like he did have a reasonable design of a computer in fact. (Except for the too-many-digits-of-precision thing, that the OP tweet thread is about.) He seems to have well understood how not just arithmetic but a lot more could be done mechanically.
The problem with your line of reasoning is that Linux is not an OS. It's a broad ecosystem of components that get assembled into distributions. I have used the word ecosystem deliberately, because it's very similar to any of its biological counterparts.

Things evolve in a pretty organic way. The advantage of this is the lack of a central authority and much more resilience. It's a bit like the Internet. But obviously, there's some room for improvement in terms of user experience.

Ideally, I think this should happen through some loose standards and RFCs, pretty much like it occurred for the Internet.

With that said, the overall user experience is very good if you stick to a pure GNOME desktop. KDE and Xfce are also pretty good. Personally, I prefer running just X and three applications (Firefox, Emacs and XTerm). This way simpler, and there's almost no common UX at all. Just three very different platforms with very well known conventions (hypertext, Emacs applications and text, respectively).
That's one meterpretation. I still haven't met a tech person who thought the metaverse sounded cool, though...
In 1942 the leaders of the US, UK, France, and Russia had agreed that unconditional surrender was the only acceptable end to the war - for a variety of reasons including partly that no ally would negotiate surrender terms separately from the rest. The Allies held true to that for Germany and Italy. In Japan, even after two atomic bombings, Japan was still trying to negotiate terms. Ultimately we did break from that by agreeing informally (not in writing) to one of their terms - not to execute the emperor - and with that Japan finally agreed to surrender.

Even so, a military group attempted a coup to stop the surrender the night before - after the emperor's surrender message had been recorded but before it was broadcast.

After the invasion of Okinawa but before the atomic bombs, Japan was a country that was clearly militarily defeated, but not close to surrender.

Yes you can definitely argue that it is misleading, but given the alternative I was faced with (React) whose entire world is misleading and unknown, I decided I liked this option better. I write less code, I understand my code more, and it is native hand-written performance. You can also argue that these are all features of JavaScript, and so if you think that is misleading, getters are also misleading because the getter could be doing all kinds of things even though it looks like a standard property access. So it has to be put into perspective with Vue/React/etc, where your code doesn't even correspond to anything and the React engine underneath recreates the dom, diffs it, updates when it wants, etc, and the setState stuff relies on declaration order and all kinds of ridiculous garbage.

Anyway, I just think it is cool kind of for the same reason it is misleading :)

You can do a loop like:

for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
const { cool } = divs;
cool.innerText = new Date();
document.body.append(cool);
}

and cool is actually a new div each time, even though you would think it was the same cool from divs (divs.cool). It also caches the div, so it is faster than even if you wrote the manual version with createElement.

I could get rid of it, because my other approach to element creation would is:

const cool = div({ className: 'cool' });

which isn't too bad, but when I have a lot of divs, it is just nicer to do:

const {
root,
headingContainer,
userContainer } = divs;

Also, yeah, it actually creates hyphened classes. so headingContainer goes to .heading-container. That is just how I work and so it is a convention.
I read -every- page of my 512k macintosh owners manual cover to cover until the pages started to fall out.
Probably because any attempt to even reduce the topic to a spreadsheet is a case of "not even wrong".

When someone says that they proved that say, studying art doesn't matter, with math, you don't bother arguing with their math.
I absolutely understand your concern about government leech's as well, I'm in the same boat. Too often do politicians just go with their friends or donors to supply services and contracts. Its a big problem that wastes a ton of money and time.

I also think your idea of being able to opt out is interesting, I think this could be a viable concept but I don't know how it would be implemented. It would seem that there might be two parallel systems if that were to happen.
Easy to lose the key yes.
These pops and crackles are common on exotics (cars that cost a lot). So, you’ve got it backwards actually.

An M3 isn’t cheap cash these days. Jaguars have this too (again, is that a cheap car?). AMGs as well. I mean - the list goes on even for more reasonable cars. Your Lamborghinis and Ferraris will vary but plenty of other exotics have them. Common with race cars as well.

I’m guessing most people here have just never watched any kind of motorsport - as these sounds are incredibly common in them. And - here’s the thing - these people like the sound.
“I think we can best do that by giving people access to education, health care, housing, food, and physical safety.”

No one is “punishing” anyone. There are homeless people freezing to death who could use the money.

Bernie did the same thing.
At ~$14B for ~2GW, that is very expensive power. It will soon be markedly uncompetitive as solar/wind/storage come online, and the reactors will end up shut down early, never having made back their (outrageous) capital cost.
People who can run every day are much healthier than people who can't run every day. People who continue to be able to run every day beyond middle age are exceptionally healthy compared to their peers. It's really hard to disentangle the cause from the effect.

Between that and running injuries, car/bike accidents, skin cancer, etc, it probably wouldn't be tooo hard to show that running is not worth it.

Mind you, I'm NOT MAKING THAT ARGUMENT, I'm just saying it's probably easier to do than you imagine.

They don't at all, at least in my implementation. I read that they affected performance greatly, but all of my real world and bench mark testing says they don't at all, and in fact allow me to cache partially created elements to improve performance.

I think it will happen slowly but steadily. There are now a few commercial companies specialising in writing software that is proven correct. CompCert and seL4 are some examples. And various large companies are using tools like TLA+ to prove complex systems correct. However I think it will always be a specialised area (like embedded systems). With new job titles like “Proof Engineer” or “Verification Engineer”.
If the spreadsheet showed education was a net positive, would Caplan accept this and rewrite the book, or would he go looking for more factors and adjustments that could "correct" its result.

I built a new GTK 4 backend specifically for macOS so we have native support for rendering all of the UI with OpenGL like we do on Linux and Windows. I'm fairly quick to fix bugs if I get good reports, and it can be installed with `brew install gtk4`.

You can also build GTK for macOS easily with meson as it has subprojects for everything. In fact, our CI does it from scratch on every commit w/ macOS. On Windows you can just open GTK with visual studio and build it by using Meson to generate the project files.

A bunch of work is about to land to make the macOS backend more solid/faster too similar to the work Firefox did in the last couple of years to reduce power usage w/ OpenGL/IOSurface/etc.

My bias is also to think that social science degrees are not as useful as technical degrees. My guess is that we'd be much better off in adding real science (including some humility) to those degrees, rather than abolishing them. I'd prefer incremental improvement over revolution.

Note that the largest source of fugitive hydrocarbons is parked motorcycles, because 1) CARB estimates that about 30% of bikes in the state have had their evap canisters removed, and 2) even the ones that still have their canisters can't work for more than about 7 days, so a motorcycle that doesn't have the engine started for more than a week leaks as much fuel as one that never had California emissions equipment in the first place.
